Basically you know that the 2 wholes from both sides cancel out.
Set up the equation, 5/8 = 3/12 + 3/x
3/x = 5/8 - 3/12
Set them to have a common denominator, 3/x = 15/24 - 6/24
3/x = 9/24
Simplify 9/24 and you will get 3/8
3/x = 3/8
Obviously this means x = 8
Given:
The point 
divides the line segment joining points 
and 
.
To find:
The ratio in which he point P divides the segment AB.
Solution:
Section formula: If a point divides a segment in m:n, then the coordinates of that point are,
Let point P divides the segment AB in m:n. Then by using the section formula, we get
On comparing both sides, we get
Multiply both sides by 4.
It can be written as
Therefore, the point P divides the line segment AB in 1:5.
What does part a mean i dont understand
The domain is the value of x. In this case, -3≤x≤7
the range is the value of y. in this case, -1≤y≤9
this is not a function, because the same x value has two corresponding y values. For example, when x=5, y=0 or y=8
It IS a function if every x value has only one corresponding y value.
