Answer:

Bench costs $325

Step-by-step explanation:

Try setting up an equation

x = cost of garden table

y = cost of bench

equation 1: x + y = 585

We also know that the table costs 65 dollars less than the bench.

cost of garden table = bench - 65

equation 2: x = y - 65

Now just substitute equation 2 into equation 1

(y-65) + y = 585

and solve for y

2y-65 = 585

2y = 585 + 65 = 650

y = 325 = cost of bench

Line segment ab has endpoints a(9, 3) and b(2, 6). find the coordinates of the point that divides the line segment directed from

Dominik [7]

When we are to divide the line segment such that the ratio is 1:2, there are actually 3 parts of the segment. First, we determine the distance between the coordinates and divide the distance by 3. Then, we add the quotient to the x-coordinate.

x-coordinate: (2 - 9) / 3 = -7/3
y-coordinate: (6 - 3 ) / 3 = 1

Adding them to the coordinates of a,
x - coordinate: (9 - 7/3) = 20/3
y - coordinate: (3 + 1) = 4
Thus, the coordinates are (20/3, 4).
