You mean their sum is 12?
A) x + y = 12
B) x -y = 4 then we add both equations:
2x = 16
x = 8
y = 4
Answer:
okay
Step-by-step
no of yards they cut in an hour
Jacob = 2 yard
jenny 3/4 of a yard
no of yards it will take jenny to cut 3 yards = 4 hours
15 km = 5 trips
3km = 1 trip
24 km = 8 trips
Answer:
(14/3, 8/3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the points be

The formula for finding the coordinates of point that divides the line in a:b is:

Here x and y are the coordinates of the point that will partition the line into given ratios
Our ratio is 2 to 1,
So,
a=2
b=1
Putting the values in the formula

So the coordinates of point that divides AB in 2:1 are:
(14/3, 8/3) ..
