1/2(x - 3) = 2/3(x - 8)

Distributive property on both sides.

0.5x - 1.5 = 0.7x -5.3

Add 5.3 to both sides.

0.5x + 3.8 = 0.7x

Subtract 0.5x from both sides.

3.8 = 0.2x

Multiply both sides by 5.

x = 19 (This is your answer.)

In the diagram, point D divides line segment AB in the ratio of 5:3. If line segment AC is vertical and line segment CD is horiz

KIM [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the coordinates of pointD if A(2,-6), B(10,2) and point D divides line segment AB in the ratio of 5:3.

If point D divides the segment AB in the ratio m:n, then

$D\left(\dfrac{nx_A+mx_B}{m+n},\dfrac{ny_A+my_B}{m+n}\right)$

$D\left(\dfrac{3\cdot 2+5\cdot 10}{5+3},\dfrac{3\cdot (-6)+5\cdot 2B}{5+3}\right)=D(7,-1)$

Point C has the x-coordinate the same as point A and the y-coordinate the same as point D.

Thus, C(2,-1)
