The ratio would be 75:45 so there would be 75 waters and 45 sodas
7x - 1 = 5x - 8
Minus 5x on each side
2x -1 = -8
Plus 1 on each side
2x = -7
Divide by 2 on each side
x = -7/2
The number is most likely -7/2
<h3>Given</h3>
A(-3, 1), B(4, 5)
<h3>Find</h3>
coordinates of P on AB such that AP/PB = 5/2
<h3>Solution</h3>
AP/PB = 5/2 . . . . . desired result
2AP = 5PB . . . . . . multiply by 2PB
2(P-A) = 5(B-P) . . . meaning of the above
2P -2A = 5B -5P . . eliminate parentheses
7P = 2A +5B . . . . . collect P terms
P = (2A +5B)/7 . . . .divide by the coefficient of P
P = (2(-3, 1) +5(4, 5))/7 . . . . substitute the given points
P = (-6+20, 2+25)/7 . . . . . . simplify
P = (2, 3 6/7)
