Answer:

Point B is (10 , -4)

Point D is (10/9 , 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the rule of the point which divides of a line segment in

 a ratio

- If point (x , y) divides the line segment AB, where A is (x1 , y1) and

 B is (x2 , y2) in the ratio m1 : m2

∴ x = [m2(x1) + m1(x2)]/(m1 + m2)

∴ y = [m2(y1) + m1(y2)]/(m1 + m2)

* Now lets solve the problem

- Point C (3.6 , -0.4) divides AB in the ratio 3 : 2, where A is (-6 , 5)

# x = 3.6 , y = -0.4

# A is (x1 , y1) , B is (x2 , y2)

∴ x1 = -6 , y1 = 5

∵ m1 : m2 = 3 : 2

- Substitute these values in the rule

∵ x = [m2(x1) + m1(x2)]/(m1 + m2)

∴ 3.6 = [2(-6) + 3(x2)]/(3 + 2)

∴ 3.6  = [-12 + 3x2]/5 ⇒ multiply both sides by 5

∴ 18 = -12 + 3x2 ⇒ add 12 to both sides

∴ 30 = 3x2 ⇒ divide both sides by 3

∴ 10 = x2

* The x-coordinate of B is 10

∵ y = [m2(y1) + m1(y2)]/(m1 + m2)

∴ -0.4 = [2(5) + 3(y2)]/(3 + 2)

∴ -0.4 = [10 + 3y]/5 ⇒ multiply both sides by 5

∴ -2 = 10 + 3y2 ⇒ subtract 10 from both sides

∴ -12 = 3x2 ⇒ divide both sides by 3

∴ -4 = y2

* The y-coordinate of B is -4

∴ Point B is (10 , -4)

- Point D divides AB in the ratio 4 : 5 where A (-6 , 5) and B (10 , -4)

- To find the coordinates of point D use the same rule above

# D is (x , y)

# A is (x1 , y1) and B is (x2 , y2)

# m1 : m2 is 4 : 5

∵ x1 = -6 and y1 = 5

∵ x2 = 10 and y2 = -4

∵ m1 = 4 and m2 = 5

- Substitute these values in the rule

∵ x = [m2(x1) + m1(x2)]/(m1 + m2)

∴ x = [5(-6) + 4(10)]/(4 + 5) ⇒ multiply the numbers

∴ x = [-30 + 40]/9 ⇒ add

∴ x = [10]/9 ⇒ Divide

∴ x = 10/9

* The x-coordinate of D is 10/9

∵ y = [m2(y1) + m1(y2)]/(m1 + m2)

∴ y = [5(5) + 4(-4)]/(5 + 4) ⇒ multiply the numbers

∴ y = [25 + -16]/9 ⇒ add

∴ y = [9]/9 ⇒ Divide

∴ y = 1

* The y-coordinate of point D is 1

∴ Point D is (10/9 , 1)

What you do first is add the books 42 + 85 + 69 which equals 196. Then divide 196 by 7 and you get 28 :)

Solve the system, or show that it has no solution. (If there is no solution, enter NO SOLUTION. If there are an infinite number
liberstina [14]

Answer:

The system has an infinite set of solutions (x,y) = (x, \frac{x-5}{4})

Step-by-step explanation:

From the first equation:

20x - 80y = 100

20x = 100 + 80y

x = \frac{100 + 80y}{20}

x = 5 + 4y

Replacing on the second equation:

-14x + 56y = -70

-14(5 + 4y) + 56y = -70

-70 - 56y + 56y = -70

0 = 0

This means that the system has an infinite number of solutions, considering:

x = 5 + 4y

4y = x - 5

y = \frac{x - 5}{4}

The system has an infinite set of solutions (x,y) = (x, \frac{x-5}{4})

13 + 3y= 37 solve for y
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write out equation

13 + 3y = 37

Step 2: Subtract 13 on both sides

3y = 24

Step 3: Divide both sides by 3

y = 8

K is the midpoint of JL JK=3x-1 and KL=2x+8 find JL
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

JL = 52

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given in the question that K is the midpoint of JL.

So, JK = KL ......... (1)

Now, given that, JK =3x - 1 and KL = 2x + 8  

Therefore, from equation (1), we can write  

3x - 1 = 2x + 8

⇒ x = 9

So, JK = 3x - 1 = 3(9) -1 = 26 and KL = 2x + 8 = 2(9) + 8 = 26

Hence, JL = JK + KL = 26 + 26 = 52. (Answer)
