Answer:

  (4, 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

The point of interest is ...

  P = (2Z +1Y)/(2+1) = ((2·3+6)/3, (2·9+3)/3)

  P = (4, 7)

__

The point that divides the segment into the ratio a:b is the weighted average of the endpoints, with the weights being "b" and "a". The weight of the first end point corresponds to the length of the far end of the segment.

Answer:

(4,7)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the coordinates of the the point that divides the line segment directed from Y to Z in the ratio of 2:1.

Y(6,3)=(x_1,y_1) and Z(3,9)=(x_2,y_2)

We will use section formula to solve our given problem.

When a point P divides a line segment AB internally in the ratio m:n, then

[x=\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},y=\frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}]

[x=\frac{2\cdot 3+1\cdot 6}{2+1},y=\frac{2\cdot 9+1\cdot 3}{2+1}]

[x=\frac{6+6}{3},y=\frac{18+3}{3}]

[x=\frac{12}{3},y=\frac{21}{3}]

[x=4,y=7]

Therefore, the coordinates of point would be (4,7).

Solve by addition method <br>3x+y=8 <br>2x-y=7
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

(3,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the system of equations:

3x+y=8\\2x-y=7

As directed, add straight down. The y-variable will cancel:

5x=15

Now, divide both sides by 5. The left cancels:

x=3

So x is 3.

Now, substitute 3 for x in either of the equations:

3x+y=8

Substitute 3 for x:

3(3)+y=8

Multiply:

9+y=8

Subtract 9 from both sides:

y=-1

So, our answer is: x=3, y=-1 or (3,-1).

And we are done :)

jada can write 3 1/4 pages in 8 minutes. At this rate, how many pages could jada write in 24 minutes?
makkiz [27]

Answer:

9  3/4  pages = x    

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{pages}{minutes} = \frac{pages}{minutes}        change 3 1/4 to a decimal

\frac{3.25}{8} = \frac{x}{24}

3.25(24) = 8x

78 = 8x

\frac{78}{8} = x

9.75 = x  

9\frac{3}{4} =x

working with the fraction

3 1/4 /8 = x/ 24

3 1/4 (24) = 8x            

 13/4 (24) = 8x

  316/4 = 8x

  78 = 8x

78/8 = x

9 3/4 = x
