а) 3,2x - 0,85 = 1,9x - 66,5
\( 3,2x - 1,9x = -66,5 + 0,85 \)
\( 1,3x = -65,65 \)
\( x = \frac{-65,65}{1,3} \)
\( x = -50,5 \)
б) 5\( \frac{1}{4} \) : 2\( \frac{11}{12} \) = a : 4,5
\( 5\frac{1}{4} = \frac{5 \times 4 + 1}{4} = \frac{21}{4} \)
\( 2\frac{11}{12} = \frac{2 \times 12 + 11}{12} = \frac{35}{12} \)
\( 4,5 = 4\frac{5}{10} = 4\frac{1}{2} = \frac{9}{2} \)
\( \frac{21}{4} : \frac{35}{12} = \frac{21}{4} \times \frac{12}{35} = \frac{21 \times 12}{4 \times 35} = \frac{3 \times 7 \times 4 \times 3}{4 \times 5 \times 7} = \frac{9}{5} \)
\( \frac{9}{5} = a : \frac{9}{2} \)
\( a = \frac{9}{5} \times \frac{9}{2} \)
\( a = \frac{81}{10} = 8,1 \)
Ответ: а) x = -50,5; б) a = 8,1.
