Answer: The original number is 175

Step-by-step explanation:

The number will be represent by x .

The number is being divided by 5  so we can represent by the expression x/5.

After than is being added to 18  so we will add 18 to the expression.

x/5 + 18 .

It has to equal to 9 less than 62 and 9 less than 62 is the same as the expression  62 -9.

Whole equation will be   x/5 + 18 = 62 - 9  

\frac{x}{5} + 18 = 62 - 9     Combine like terms on the right side

x/5 + 18 = 53        Subtract 18 from both sides

      -18     -18

x/5 = 35     Multiply both side by 5.

x = 175

This means the original number is 175.

A segment with endpoints A (3, 4) and C (5, 11) is partitioned by a point B such that AB and BC form a 2:3 ratio. Find B.
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

(3.8, 6.8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point B:

Has coordinates (x,y)

AB and BC form a 2:3 ratio.

This means that:

B - A = \frac{2}{2+3}(C - A)

B - A = \frac{2}{5}(C - A)

We apply this both for the x-coordinate and for the y-coordinate.

x-coordinate:

x-coordinate of A: 3

x-coordinate of C: 5

x-coordinate of B: x

B - A = \frac{2}{5}(C - A)

x - 3 = \frac{2}{5}(5 - 3)

x - 3 = \frac{4}{5}

x = 0.8 + 3 = 3.8

y-coordinate:

y-coordinate of A: 4

y-coordinate of C: 11

y-coordinate of B: y

B - A = \frac{2}{5}(C - A)

y - 4 = \frac{2}{5}(11 - 4)

y - 4 = \frac{14}{5}

y = 2.8 + 4 = 6.8

Thus the correct answer is:

(3.8, 6.8)
