Emily = x
Samantha = x + 2
Lauren = x + 4

x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 42

x = 12

Thus: 

Emily = 12
Samantha = 14
Lauren = 16

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

P (5 , 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

P (x,y) partition A (x₁ , y₁) B (x₂ , y₂) into ratio AM:MB = a:b = 2:1  ... a=2 , b=1

x = (bx₁ + ax₂) / (a+b)

  = (1 * 3 + 2 * 6) / (2 + 1)

  = 15/3

  = 5

y = (by₁ + ay₂) / (a+b)

  = (1 * 4 + 2 * 10) / (2 + 1)

  = 24/3

  = 8

P (5 , 8)
