Answer:

£50 and £300

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum the parts of the ratio 1 + 6 = 7 parts

Divide the amount by 7 to find the value of one part of the ratio

£350 ÷ 7 = £50 ← value of 1 part of ratio

Hence

1 person receives £50

the other person receives 6 × £50 = £300

13,22,31,... Find the 31st term. Find the 31st term.

Galina-37 [17]

Answer: 283

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this, it is helpful to get an equation you can use to solve any term.

This equation is:

$13 + 9(n-1)$

So simply plug in 31 for n to get

$13+9(31-1)$

$=13+270$

$=283$

Pleasee someone help

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

x= -6

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x-14=-2

We move all terms to the left:

-2x-14-(-2)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-2x-12=0

We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right

-2x=12

x=12/-2

x=-6

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (-9, -8) and (–6,6).

sveta [45]

Answer:

Slope - intercept form $y = \frac{14}{3} x + 34$

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:-

Given points are ( -9 ,-8 ) and (-6,6)

slope of given two points

$m = \frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} } = \frac{6-(-8)}{-6-(-9)} = \frac{14}{3}$

The equation of the straight line passing through the points and having slope

$y - y_{1} = m ( x - x_{1} )$

$y - (-8) = \frac{14}{3} ( x - (-9) )$

3 y + 2 4 = 14 x + 126

3 y = 14 x + 126 - 24

3 y = 14 x + 102

$y = \frac{14}{3} + \frac{102}{3}$

$y = \frac{14}{3} x + 34$

Slope - intercept form y= mx +C

Slope - intercept form $y = \frac{14}{3} x + 34$
