Using algebraic equations, the number of points Yael has is calculated as: 29 points.

<h3>How to Use Algebraic Equations to Solve Word Problems?</h3>

In the given world problem, we known the following:

E = Eric

S = Shenna

Y = Yael

Their total points would be: E + S + Y = 68

S = 2(E) (Shenna has twice the points of Erik)

Y = S + 3 (Yael has three points more than Shenna)

We would therefore have the following algebraic equation:

E + 2E + (S + 3) = 68

Substitute S with 2E

E + 2E + 2E + 3 = 68

Solve for E

5E + 3 = 68

5E = 68 - 3

5E = 65

5E/5 = 65/5

E = 13

Eric's points is: 13

Yael's points = Y = S + 3

Y = S + 3 = 2E + 3

Plug in the value of E

Y = 2(13) + 3

Y = 26 + 3

Y = 29

Yael has 29 points.

Find the coordinates of P that partitions segment AB , where A (2,3) and B (14,9), so that AP:PB is a 1:2 ratio. Also, find the
Paladinen [302]

For Point P, you need to recognize that a 1:2 ratio means that AP will be 1/3 of AB and PB will be 2/3 of AB.

So you need to find the change in the x-values, 14-2 = 12, and then add 1/3 of that change to the x-value of A.

Then you need to find the change in the y-values, 9-3 = 6, and then add 1/3 of that change to the y-value of A.

For the bisector, that's another way to say you'll split AB into two even pieces.  For this, it's the same as what we just did, but you need to find 1/2 of the two respective changes (1/2 of the x-change and 1/2 the y-change).

Tyrone claims that the first step to simplify this expression
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

1/(m^4*n^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

(m^2*n^-3)/(m^6*n^-1)

Tyrone's approach.

Raising the expression to the 3rd power will not help. It will make the expression more complicated.

Alisha's approach.

(m^2*n^-2)/(m^6*n^-1)

= m^(2-6)*n^(-3+1)

= m^-4*n^-2

= 1/(m^4*n^2)

Alisha's approach will simplify the expression to 1/(m^4*n^2
