<h2>Answer:</h2>

Option: A is the correct answer.

        A girl is 9; mom is 27

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

A girl is now one-third as old as her mother.

i.e. if x is the present age of girl.

and y is the present age of her mother.

Then,

x=\dfrac{1}{3}y

i.e.

y=3x-----------(1)

In three years, she will be two-fifths as old as her mother will be.

This means after three years.

The age of girl will be: x+3

and the age of her mother will be: y+3

This means that:

(x+3)=\dfrac{2}{5}\times (y+3)

5(x+3)=2(y+3)\\\\i.e.\\\\5x+15=2y+6

i.e.

5x+15=2\times 3x+6

( since on using equation (1) )

i.e.

5x+15=6x+6\\\\i.e.\\\\6x-5x=15-6\\\\i.e.\\\\x=9

and the value of y from equation (1) is:

y=27

I really want to say A, I mean all of these would fit for the one third of their ages but the two-fifths is kinda tricky. But I am sticking with A.

Point M is the midpoint of AB. The coordinates of point A are (−7, 1) and the coordinates of M are (−2, 2). What are the coordin
notka56 [123]

Answer:

\huge{\boxed{\sf{ ( 3 , 3 ) }}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Co-ordinates of point A = ( -7 , 1 )

Co-ordinates of point M = ( -2 , 2 )

Let the co-ordinates of point B be ( x , y )

A ( -7 , 1 ) \longrightarrow ( x1 , y1 )

B ( x , y ) \longrightarrow ( x2 , y2 )

Now,

Midpoint = (\frac{x1 + x2}{2}  , \frac{y1 + y2}{2} )

⇒( -2 , 2 ) = ( \frac{-7 + x}{2}  , \frac{1 + y}{2} )

Finding the value of x :                    

⇒-2 = \frac{-7 + x}{2}

Do cross multiplication                

⇒-4 = -7 + x

⇒-7 + x = -4

⇒x = -4 + 7

⇒x = 3

Now, finding the value of y

⇒2 = \frac{1+y}{2}

Do cross multiplication

⇒4 = 1+y

⇒1+y = 4

⇒y = 4 - 1

⇒y = 3

Hence, The co-ordinates of point B = ( 3 , 3 )

Hope I helped!

Best regards!

Solve formula for B v= 1/3Bh
MaRussiya [10]

v = 1/3Bh

Divide both sides by h.

v/h = 1/3B

Multiply both sides by 3.

3v/h = B

\boxed {B = \frac{3v}{h} }
