Set up the following equation for this segment:

x is segment AB's length, and 3x is segment BC's length. 20 is segment AC's length.

Combine like terms:

Divide both sides by 4 to get x by itself:

x will equal 5.

Plug this value into the values for both segments:

Segment AB:

Segment AB is 5 inches long.

Segment BC:

Segment BC is 15 inches long.

The difference between two integers is 32.The ratio of these integers is 1:3.Find these integers​
shutvik [7]

Answer:

16 and 48

Step-by-step explanation:

let the 2 integers be x and 3x ← ratio 1 : 3

Then

3x - x = 32 ← difference between the integers

2x = 32 ( divide both sides by  2 )

x =  16

and 3x = 3 ×  16 =  48

Since magnitude of difference is 32

We can also express the difference as

x - 3x = 32

- 2x = 32 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

x = - 16

and 3x = 3 × - 16 = - 48

The 2 integers are 16 and 48 or - 16 and - 48
