Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
3 pieces such that each piece is 2 cm longer then the next...
x , x + 2, x + 4
x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 30
3x + 6 = 30
3x = 30 - 6
3x = 24
x = 24/3
x = 8
x + 2 = 8 + 2 = 10
x + 4 = 8 + 4 = 12
check...
8 + 10 + 12 = 30
18 + 12 = 30
30 = 30 (correct)...it checks out
the ribbon lengths are : 8 cm, 10 cm, and 12 cm
Answer:
Please check the explanation.
Step-by-step explanation:
The midpoint (a, b) of line joining points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂)
a = x₁ + x₂ / 2
b = y₁ + y₂ / 2
Given that the midpoint of AB is (4, -3).
i.e. (a, b) = (4, -3)
Given that A has coordinate (1, 5).
i.e. (x₁, y₁) = (1, 5)
We have to determine the coordinates of B.
i.e. (x₂, y₂) = B
Thus,
4 = (1 + x₂)/2
(1 + x₂) = 4 × 2
1 + x₂ = 8
x₂ = 7
and
-3 = (5 + y₂)/2
(5 + y₂) = -3 × 2
5 + y₂ = -6
y₂ = -11
so (x₂, y₂) = (7, -3) = B
Thus, the coordinates of B = (x₂, y₂) = (7, -3)
Therefore,
x₂ + y₂ = 7 + (-3)
= 7 - 3
= 4
Hence, the value of x₂ + y₂ = 4
6y + 12 = 3y - 3
Subtract 3y on both sides
3y + 12 = -3
Subtract 12 on both sides
3y = -15
Divide by 3 on both sides
y = -5
The answer to the question is (-3,3)
