Given:
A has coordinates (-6,5)
C has coordinates (3.6,-0.4).
C divides AB in the ratio 3:2.

Refer to the diagram shown below.
The coordinates of B are determined by
\frac{3.6-(-6)}{x-(-6)} = \frac{3}{3+2} \\ \frac{9.6}{x+6} = \frac{3}{5} \\ 3(x+6) = 48 \\ 3x +18=48 \\ x=30/3=10
Also,
\frac{5-(-0.4)}{5-y} = \frac{3}{5} \\ 3(5-y) = 27 \\ 15-3y=27 \\ y= \frac{12}{-3} =-4

Answer:
The coordinates of B are (10,-4).

Now, we know the coordinates of line segment AB as A (-6, 5) and B (10,-4).
D (x,y) divides AB in the ratio 4:5.
Therefore
\frac{x-(-6)}{10-(-6)} = \frac{4}{4+5} \\ \frac{x+6}{16} = \frac{4}{9} \\ 9(x+6)=64 \\ 9x+54=64 \\ x=1.11
Also,
\frac{5-y}{5-(-4)} = \frac{4}{9}  \\ 5-y = 4 \\ y = 1

Answer:
The coordinates of D are (1.11, 1)

Linda's penny bank is 2/3 full. After she removes 80 pennies, it is 1/2 full. How many pennies can Linda's bank hold?
Ksju [112]
Let x = the total number of pennies her piggy bank can hold.
Then 2/3x = the number of pennies she started with
Then 2/3x - 80 = the number of pennies she has left after taking out 80 pennies.
Then 1/2x = the number of pennies she has left after taking out 80 pennies.
Build the equation.

2/3x - 80 = 1/2x

Subtract 1/2x from each side of the equation.

(2/3x - 80) - 1/2x = 1/2x - 1/2x

1/6x - 80 = 0

Add 80 to both sides of the equation.

(1/6x - 80) + 80 = 0 + 80

1/6x = 80

Divide both sides by 1/6.

(1/6x) / 1/6 = 80 / 1/6

x = 480

So, Linda's piggy bank can hold 480 pennies!
