Question

Can someone help me with this ????

Answer 1

Answer:

A.

$(\frac{3}{3+5})(2 - (-14))+ (-14)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Ratio = 3:5

Q = -14

S = 2

Required

Which solution uses $(\frac{m}{m+n})(x_2 - x_1)+ x_1$

From the given parameters;

$m:n = 2:5$

$m = 2\ and\ n = 5$

$x_1 = -14\ and\ x_2 = 2$

Substitute the above values in $(\frac{m}{m+n})(x_2 - x_1)+ x_1$

This gives:

$(\frac{m}{m+n})(x_2 - x_1)+ x_1$

$(\frac{3}{3+5})(2 - (-14))+ (-14)$

From the list of given options, only option A uses the given form of the formula...
