Let n = the unknown number

"The product of a number and 4" = 4 * n = 4n

"increased by 16" = + 16

Set it all equal to - 2.

4n + 16 = - 2

Subtract 16 from both sides to get constants on one side and variables on the other.

4n = - 2 - 16

Combine like terms:

4n = - 18

Divide both sides by 4 to isolate variable n.

n = - 18 / 4

= - 4 and 2/4 = - 4 and 1/2

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Point-slope equation for line of slope m that passes through (x₀,y₀):

y-y₀ = m(x-x₀)

In your case, m=5 and (x₀,y₀)=(1,9):

y-9 = 5(x-1)

What are the coordinates of the point on the directed line segment from (−8,−6) to (-1, 8) that partitions the segment into a ra

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

(-3, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

let the point P(x, y)

x = (5/7 × (-1+8)) + (-8)

= (5/7 × 7) -8 = 5-8 = -3

y = (5/7 × (8+6)) + (-6)

= (5/7 × 14) -6 = 10-6 = 4

so, P => (-3 , 4)
