David's age: x
Joshua: x + 5
Simon: (x+5) + 4 or x + 9

Simon's age + David's age = 15
(x+9) + (x) = 15
2x = 15 - 9
2x/2 = 6/2
x = 3

The ages of the boys:

David: x = 3 years old
Joshua: 3+5 = 8 years old
Simon: 3+9 = 12 years old

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the points J (1,-10) and K (7, 2)

From the section formula

(x,y)=\left(\dfrac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n}, \dfrac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}\right)

The y-coordinates of the point that divides the directed line segment from J to K into a ratio of 5:1 is obtained using the formula:

y=\dfrac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}\\m=5, n=1, y_1=-10, y_2=2\\Therefore:\\y=\dfrac{5*2+1*-10}{5+1}\\=\dfrac{10-10}{6}\\=0

The y-coordinates of the point that divides the directed line segment from J to K into a ratio of 5:1 is 0.
