Answer:

<h2>149 times.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n be the number we are looking for.

The we have to solve this equation:

1999 - 7n = 1701 - 5n

⇔ 1999 - 1701 = 7n - 5n

⇔ 298 = 2 n

⇔ n = 298/2

⇔ n = 149

<u><em>Verification</em></u> :

1 999 - 7×149 = 956

1 701 - 5×149 = 956

A line segment has (x1, y1) as one endpoint and (xm, ym) as its midpoint. Find the other endpoint (x2, y2) of the line segment i

Tasya [4]

Answer:

(3,7) for the first line, and (12,0) for the second one.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi Isabella,

1) The Midpoint of a line, when it comes to Analytical Geometry, is calculated as Mean of two points it follows:

$x_{m}=\frac{x_{1} +x_{2} } {2}, y_{m} =\frac{y_{1}+ y_{2} }{2}$

2) Each segment has two endpoints, and their midpoints, namely:

a) (1,-9) and its midpoint (2,-1)

b) (-2,18) and its midpoint (5,9)

3) Calculating. You need to be careful to not sum the wrong coordinates.

So be attentive!

The first line a

$2=\frac{1+x_{2} }{2}\\ 4=1+x_{2}\\ 4-1=-1+1+x_{2} \\ x_{2}=3\\-1=\frac{y_{2}-9}{2}\\-2=y_{2}-9\\+2-2=y_{2}-9+2\\ y_{2}=-7$

So (3,7) is the other endpoint whose segment starts at (1,-9)

The second line b endpoint at (-2,18) and its midpoint (5,9)

$5=\frac{-2+x_{2} }{2} \\ 10=-2+x_{2} \\ +2+10=+2-2+x_{2}\\ x_{2}=12 \\ \\ 9=\frac{18+y_{2} }{2} \\ 18=18+y_{2} \\ -18+18=-18+18+y_{2}\\ y_{2} =0$

So (12,0) it is the other endpoint.

At a competition with 6 runners, 2 medals are awarded for first and second

insens350 [35]

Answer:

30 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

The first medal can be awarded in 6 different ways since any of the runners could have it. Once the first medal is awarded, the second medal can only be given to any of the 5 runners available.

So there are 6x5=30 different ways to award the medals
