Answer:
(-8 , 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
(x1 , y1) (x2 , y2) = (-10 , -1) (-6 , 7)
,
-6 is going to be my x1 and -10 my y1
7 is going to be my x2 and -1 my y2
(-8 , 3)
The length of pencil A is 5 cm
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let the length of pencil A be "x"
Let the length of pencil B be "y"
Let the length of pencil C be "z"
<em><u>The total length of pencils A, B and C is 29 cm</u></em>
Therefore,
length of pencil A + length of pencil B + length of pencil C = 29
x + y + z = 29 ------------ eqn 1
<em><u>Pencil A is 11 cm shorter then pencil B</u></em>
x = y - 11 ------- eqn 2
<em><u>Pencil B is twice as long a pencil C</u></em>
y = 2z
------ eqn 3
<em><u>Substitute eqn 2 and eqn 3 in eqn 1</u></em>

<em><u>Substitute y = 16 in eqn 2</u></em>
x = 16 - 11
x = 5
Thus length of pencil A is 5 cm
Answer:
21
Step-by-step explanation:
cross multiply
42 x 24 = 48x
1008 = 48x
x = 21
This can be solver by creating a small equation with x being the number and solving for x. The equation would be 8 + 2( x + 3 ) = -6
Solve for x:
8 + 2( x + 3 ) = -6
Distribute the 2
8+ (2x+6)=-6
Subtract 8
2x+6= -14
Add 6
2x= 8
Divide by 2
x=4
So the number you are looking for is 4
I hope this helps!
