Answer: 4 a - 3 b
Step-by-step explanation:
Since, the perimeter of the triangle = sum of all the three side of the triangle.
Here, two sides of the triangle are 2a + b and a - 9b,
And, the perimeter of the triangle = 7 a - 11
Let third side = x
Therefore, 2 a + b + a - 9 b + x = 7 a - 11 b
⇒ 3 a - 8 b + x = 7 a - 11 b
⇒ x = 7 a - 11 b - 3 a + 8 b
⇒ x = 4 a - 3 b ( by operating like terms)
Answer: point F is at <u> 0.6 </u> on the number line
=============================================================
Explanation:
The ratio 2:3 scales up to 2x:3x for some positive real number x.
This means the distance from D to F is 2x units, and the distance from F to E is 3x units. Combine those two smaller distances to get 2x+3x = 5x to represent the full distance from D to E.
D is at -3 and E is at 6. This is a distance of 9 units since |-3-6| = |-9| = 9
Set this equal to the 5x from earlier and solve
5x = 9
x = 9/5
x = 1.8
This leads to 2x = 2*1.8 = 3.6
Therefore, we'll move 3.6 units from -3 to -3+3.6 = 0.6 which is the location of point F on the number line.
Notice that from 0.6 to 6 is 5.4 units and that 3x = 3*1.8 = 5.4 matches up to help confirm the answer.
