Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
(4/3)P -(4/3)A + A = B . . . . . . add A
(4P -A)/3 = B . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
Then the coordinates of point B are ...
B = (4(1, 6) -(-5, 3))/3 = (9, 21)/3
B = (3, 7)
I want points!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2x+x-7+3x-20=87cm
6x-27=87
6x=114
x=19
Therefore the sides are:12cm, 38cm, and 37cm
The midpoint, where the rest area is, will just be the average of the coordinates of Springfield and Columbus.
Rest Area=((1+7)/2, (-4+1)/2)
Rest Area=(4, -1.5)
The distance between the two cities can be found using the Pythagorean Theorem, which used in the manner is often referred to as the "distance" formula between two points.
d^2=(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)
d^2=(7-1)^2+(1--4)^2
d^2=36+25
d^2=61
d=√61 and we are told that each unit is equal to 5.38mi so the distance from Springfield to Columbus is:
D=5.38√61 mi
D≈42.02mi (to nearest hundredth of a mile)
We need to figure out how many more cans they need to bring. We figure this out by subtracting 403 from 1,000, which gives us 596 more cans. We now divide 596/28, to find how many each student would need to bring. This equals 21.3. You might want to mention that each student can't bring .3 of a can, so the answer could be 22 also.
