For the equation 3y = 4x – 2, reflect across line x-y=0 by swapping x and y coordinates in the transformation: y = x, and x = y. Replace to get 3x = 4y - 2, rearranging gives the reflected line as 4y - 3x = 2 in the form ax + by + c = 0 .

Form equations as 4m + 7o = 450 and 6m + 5o = 510. Using matrices, define matrix A with coefficients, and B with constants. Apply matrix inversion or use determinants for simultaneous solving to find m and o weights giving linear weight relations .

For endpoints A(2,5) and B(6,9), find the midpoint (4,7) and the slope of line AB as (9-5)/(6-2) = 1. The perpendicular bisector's slope is -1. Using point-slope form y-y1=m(x-x1) with m=-1 and midpoint (4,7), the equation is y - 7 = -1(x - 4). Simplifying gives x + y = 11, which is in the form ax + by + c = 0 with a=1, b=1, c=-11 .

Using T1 and T2 vitamins B2 and B3, construct inequalities: 20T1 + 15T2 ≥ 120 for B2 and 7T1 + 14T2 ≥ 70 for B3. Solving these simultaneously by plotting or calculating provides minimal whole-number values of T1 and T2 satisfying both constraints. The sum of obtainable minimum amounts offers the optimal weight to cover nutritional requirements .

To determine the largest size of square tiles that will cover the room completely, we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the length and width of the room. For a room with dimensions 270 cm by 150 cm, the GCD is 30 cm. Thus, the largest tile size is 30 cm by 30 cm. The number of tiles required would be the area of the room divided by the area of one tile. This is (270 x 150) / (30 x 30) = 9 x 5 = 45 tiles .

To find the percentage gain or loss, first calculate the cost price per orange as 124.2 shillings for an 8% profit implies cost price = 124.2 / 1.08 = 115 shillings. Selling at 80.5 shillings incurs a loss, computed as (115 - 80.5) / 115 = 0.3 or a 30% loss .

The probability that a teacher has 6 or more years of experience is the sum of the probabilities of having 6–8 years and more than 8 years of experience. According to the given probabilities, these are 1/6 and 11/24, respectively. Therefore, the combined probability is 1/6 + 11/24 = 4/24 + 11/24 = 15/24 or approximately 0.625 .

To prepare a cash book and ledgers, list all transactions affecting cash, including capital introduction, purchases, sales, expenses, and personal drawings. Sum the cash inflows and outflows to find the cash balance. Open separate accounts for purchases and sales; record purchase and sales transactions as debits and credits respectively. For the provided transactions, summarize cash movements: The net cash balance influences the final cash book balance after recognizing all entries as per transactional dates .

Initially, T1 = 32℃ for T2 = 24℃ and t = 9 cm. Using the relation T1 = k(T2/t), find k as k = T1 * t / T2 = 32 * 9 / 24 = 12. When T1 changes to 36℃ and T2 to 18℃, use the formula 36 = 12 * (18/t), leading to 36t = 216. Solving for t gives t = 6 cm .

For a metal pipe with external radius 6 cm and thickness 1 cm, internal radius = 5 cm. For volume: V = πh(R^2 - r^2) where h = 400 cm (4 m), R=6, r=5. Using π = 3.14, V = 3.14*400*(36-25), calculate volume to be about 13816 cm^3 .
