Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok so there are 7 different options for each of the remaining 7 people to be sat in which means that the answer can be given by 7!=7*6*5*4*3*2*1=5040 different ways
4x + 13y = 40
4x + 3y = -40
multiply second equation by -1
4x + 13y = 40
-4x - 3y = 40
add equations together
10y = 80
y = 8
put y in either original equation
4x + 3(8) = -40
4x + 24 = -40
subtract 24 from both sides
4x = 64
x=16
y=8
Let's say the point is C, so C partitions AB into two pieces, where AC is at a ratio of 3 and CB is at a ratio of 7, thus 3:7,
