The solution to the inequality is x > 3

The number line that represent the solution set will be:

A number line from negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1. An open circle is at 3 and a bold line starts at 3 and is pointing to the right. The correct option is the second option

<h3>Linear Inequalities </h3>

From the question, we are to determine the number line that represents the solution set for the given inequality

The given inequality is

3(8 – 4x) < 6(x – 5)

First, we will solve the inequality

3(8 – 4x) < 6(x – 5)

Clear the brackets

24 - 12x < 6x - 30

Collect like terms

24 + 30 < 6x + 12x

54 < 18x

Divide both sides by 18

3 < x

∴ x > 3

Hence, the number line that represent the solution set will be:

A number line from negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1. An open circle is at 3 and a bold line starts at 3 and is pointing to the right. The correct option is the second option

N the diagram, and are horizontal lines and is a vertical line segment. If FB : FC = 4 : 3, what are the coordinates of point D?

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Given the diagram, where AB and EF are horizontal lines and CB is a vertical line segment. Given that FB : FC = 4 : 3, From the diagram, the coordinate of A is (-10, -8) and the coordinate of C is (-3. -1). We can also see that the coordinate of B is (-3, -8) (since CB is a vertical line means that B is the same x-value as C and AB is a horizontal line means that B is the same y-value as A) Recall that the coordinate of a point dividing a line segment in the ratio m:n is given by (x1 + m/(m+n) (x2 - x1), y1 + m/(m+n) (y2 - y1)) Thus, since FB : FC = 4 : 3, this means that point F divides the line segment BC in the ratio 4 : 3. Thus, the coordinate of F is given by (-3 + 4/(4+3) (-3 - (-3)), -8 + 4/(4+3) (-1 - (-8))) = (-3 + 4/7 (0), -8 + 4/7 (7)) = (-3, -4). Also, given that FB : FC = 4 : 3, this means that point D divides the line segment AC in the ratio 4 : 3. Thus, the coordinate of D is given by (-10 + 4/(4+3) (-3 - (-10)), -8 + 4/(4+3) (-1 - (-8))) = (-10 + 4/7 (7), -8 + 4/7 (7)) = (-6, -4). Therefore, the coordinates of point D is (-6, -4).
