Answer:
B(4, - 3 )
Step-by-step explanation:
We have A(2, - 7) and C(7, 3 )
Using the section formula to calculate the coordinates of B
= 
= 
= 
= 4
= 
= 
= 
= - 3
Hence B(4, - 3 )
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Therefore, x = -29.5.
Answer:
x = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 3x + 14
2x - 3y = -14
So, what is the substitution? Y of course, this is because y is equal to 3x + 14.
2x - 3 (3x + 14) = -14
Multiply 3 with the numbers in the parentheses.
2x - 9x + 42 = -14
So you maybe be wondering why it is a negative 7 instead of subtracting 9 with 2. Using PEMDAS, we always read from left to right. So it is basically 2 -9 and you get -7.
-7x + 42 = -14
Then subtract 42 from both sides.
-7x + 42 - 42 = -14 - 42
Simplify
-7x = -56
Divide 7 by both sides.
-7x / 7 = -56 / 7
x = -8
And you might ask, why we get x instead afterwards. This is because both -7 and 7 cancel each other out leaving us with x.
The approximate number of pink chips is 40. Here's why: what you need to do is set up the problem as shown below. 12 goes above 30 because you have to know what the total number of chips chosen is in order to relate it to 100 chips. From there, all you have to do is cross-multiply and divide (or my middle school teacher used to call it fish.... I'll explain why). First you are going to draw a line from the 100 to the 12 and multiply them. then you are going to curve the line that you will draw from the 12 to the 30 and divide the product of 12 and 100 by 30. Then you will draw a line from the 30 to the X meaning that the quotient that you find from the product of 120 and 100 divided by 30 equals X. Hope that helps.
