Answer:

\text{The coordinates of point is }P(a,b)=(\frac{80}{7}, \frac{17}{7})

Step-by-step explanation:

\text{Given the coordinates of point that is }\frac{1}{6}\text{ of the way from a(14, -1), b(-4, 23)}

\text{If a point }P(a, b)\text{ divides the line joining two points }(x_1,y_1)\text{ and }(x_2, y_2)\\ \text{ in the ratio m:n internally, then the coordinates of point P are given by}

P(a,b)=(\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n}, \frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n})

The two points given are a(14, -1), b(-4, 23) and ratio m:n=1:6

P(a,b)=(\frac{1(-4)+6(14)}{1+6}, \frac{1(23)+6(-1)}{1+6})

P(a,b)=(\frac{80}{7}, \frac{17}{7})

The sum of two numbers is 110.The larger number is 2 less than 7 times the smaller.Find the Large number
natima [27]

Answer:

The larger number is 96.

Step-by-step explanation:

let \: the \: two \: numbers \: be \: a \: and \: b \\ a + b = 110 \\ let \: a \: be \: the \: larger \: number \\ a = 7b - 2 \\ we \: can \: get \: the \: value \: of \: b \: by \: substituting \: the \: value \: above \: for \: a \: in \: eq \: 1 \\ 7b - 2 + b = 110 \\ 8b - 2 = 110 \\ 8b = 110 + 2 \\ 8b = 112 \\ b = \frac{112}{8}  \\b = 14\\ calculate \:the \: value \: of \: a \: using \: the \: equation \: above \\ a + b = 110 \\ a = 110 - 14 \\ a = 96 \\ hence \: the \: large \: number \: is \: 96

Miles has saved $40. He wants to buy a cell phone for $129 in about 4 months. To find out how much he should save each week, he
Marianna [84]

Answer: No, the equation is not accurate.

Step-by-step explanation: The proper equation is 4x + 40 = 129. This is because 16 is nowhere in the scenario, and the term before x is months, so the correct term would be 4x.

Rhombus A has a base of 7 inches and an area of 35 square inches. Rhombus B has a base and height that are three times the base
STALIN [3.7K]
For rhombus A:
base = 7 in
area = 35 in²

Area of rhombus = b * h
⇒ 35 = 7 * h
⇒ h = 35/7
⇒ h = 5 in

Rhombus B:
height = 3*5 = 15 in
base = 7*3 = 21 in
Area = 15 * 21 = 315 in²

Area of rhombus B is 9 times area of rhombus A. When the dimensions are increased to 3 times the initial dimension, area became 9 times.
