if |a+6|=11 and |2b-12|=8 then min valu b/a ?

• a=5 or -17
  b=10 or 2
  min value of b/a=> -10/17

• possible cases:
  'a' can be 5,-17
  => (5+6=11) ; (|-17+6|=11)
  'b' can be 2,10
  => (|2*2-12|=8) ; (2*10-12=8)
  
  answers can be 2/5,10/5,-10/17,-2/17
  smallest of all is
  0.4,2,-0.588,-0.11 so -0.588 i.e [-10/17] is minimum

• |a+6| = 11 or -11
  a=5 or -17
  
  |2b-12| = 8 or -8
  2b = 20 or 4
  b= 10 or 2
  
  Max value of b/a => 10/5 = 2
  Min value of b/a => 2/-17 = -2/17
  
  Ans : -2/17

• a+6=11=>a=5
  2b-12=8=>b=10
  =>a/b=1/2
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(3)
• a+6=11 where a=5,
  2b-12=8 where b=10,
  b/a=10/5=2
  
  solution is 2

• a=5,b=10 so the value of b/a=2
