I need help finding the location of x
1 answer:
Answer:
Position of point X on the number line must be X = -27
Step-by-step explanation:
Notice that there are 14 units between W and Y, since the absolute value of their difference is :
| -15-(-29) | = | -15 + 29 | = 14
Now let's write an equation that tells as what is the distance between W and X in terms of WY knowing that we want WX to be 1/7 of WY:
This is telling us that the point X must be located two (2) units to the right of point W. That is W + 2 = -29 + 2 = -27
Position of point X on the number line must be X = -27

In order to add these fractions we have to make a common denominator.
1/5 can turn into 2/10 Its the same thing. And its easier to solve with.
now lets multiply.
×
Now we add across
2 + 1 = 3
------------
10 + 10 = 10 ( When adding fractions like these the denominator stays the same)
So your answer is...
Good Luck! :)
