Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{2x-10}{4}=3x\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 4}\\\\2x-10=12x\qquad\text{subtract}\ 2x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\-10=10x\qquad\text{divide both sides by 10}\\\\-1=x\to x=-1$

Answer: The correct option is (D) (4, -6).

Step-by-step explanation: Given that the areas of the triangles ADC and DCB are in the ratio 3 : 4.

We are to find the co-ordinates of point C.

From the diagram, we note that

the co-ordinates of point A and B are A(1, -9) and B(8,-2).

So, the length of the line segment AB, calculated by distance formula, is

$AB=\sqrt{(1-8)^2+(-9+2)^2}=\sqrt{49+49}=7\sqrt2.$

Now, area of ΔADC is

$A_{ABC}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times AC\times CD,$

and area of ΔDCB is

$A_{DCE}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times BC\times CD.$

According to the given information, we have

$A_{ADC}:A_{DCB}=3:4\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{A_{ADC}}{A_{DCE}}=\dfrac{3}{4}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{\frac{1}{2}\times AC\times CD}{\frac{1}{2}\times BC\times CD}=\dfrac{3}{4}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{AC}{BC}=3:4.$

So, the point C divides the line segment AB internally in the ratio 3 : 4.

We know that

if a point divides a line segment with end-points (a, b) and (c, d) internally in the ration m : n, then its co-ordinates are

$\left(\dfrac{mc+na}{m+n},\dfrac{md+nb}{m+n}\right).$

Since point C divides the line segment AB with end-points A(1, -9) and B(8, -2) internally, so the co-ordinates of point C will be

$\left(\dfrac{3\times 8+4\times 1}{3+4},\dfrac{3\times (-2)+4\times (-9)}{3+4}\right)\\\\\\=\left(\dfrac{28}{7},\dfrac{-42}{7}\right)\\\\\\=(4, -6).$

Thus, the co-ordinates of point C are (4, -6).

Option (D) is correct.

Find 3 fractions that are equivalent to 3/8. explain your method

Nikolay [14]

Hey Aarya!

If we `scale` both the numerator and denominator by the same value, then we can create other equivalent fractions. By scale I mean: Multiply both the top and bottom of the fraction by the same value.

So here is one we can try.
Let's multiply numerator and denominator by 3.
$\rm \frac38\cdot\frac33=\frac9{24}$
Yay we did it! We found another fraction which is equivalent to 3/8.

which inequality best represents the statement. reduced movie price tickets are available for the following ages (a): children 1

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

13≥x U x≥65

Step-by-step explanation:

For a customer to have the reduced movie price tickets, they have to be 13 or younger, or 65 or older so I made the inequality, (X is less than or equal to 13) Union (X is greater than or equal to 65)
