Answer:

Simplifying

(5n + -3) + -1(-2n + 7) = 0

Reorder the terms:

(-3 + 5n) + -1(-2n + 7) = 0

Remove parenthesis around (-3 + 5n)

-3 + 5n + -1(-2n + 7) = 0

Reorder the terms:

-3 + 5n + -1(7 + -2n) = 0

-3 + 5n + (7 * -1 + -2n * -1) = 0

-3 + 5n + (-7 + 2n) = 0

Reorder the terms:

-3 + -7 + 5n + 2n = 0

Combine like terms: -3 + -7 = -10

-10 + 5n + 2n = 0

Combine like terms: 5n + 2n = 7n

-10 + 7n = 0

Solving

-10 + 7n = 0

Solving for variable 'n'.

Move all terms containing n to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '10' to each side of the equation.

-10 + 10 + 7n = 0 + 10

Combine like terms: -10 + 10 = 0

0 + 7n = 0 + 10

7n = 0 + 10

Combine like terms: 0 + 10 = 10

7n = 10

Divide each side by '7'.

n = 1.428571429

Simplifying

n = 1.428571429

2. Given a directed line segment with endpoints A(3, 2) and B(6, 11), what is the point that

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

The point of division is (5 , 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- If point (x , y) divides the line whose endpoints are $(x_{1},y_{1})$

and $(x_{2},y_{2})$ at ratio $m_{1}:m_{2}$ , then

$x=\frac{x_{1}m_{2}+x_{2}m_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}}$ and

$y=\frac{y_{1}m_{2}+y_{2}m_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}}$

* Lets solve the problem

- The directed line segment with endpoints A (3 , 2) and B (6 , 11)

- There is a point divides AB two-thirds from A to B

∵ The coordinates of the endpoints of the directed line segments

are A = (3 , 2) and B = (6 , 11)

∴ $(x_{1},y_{1})$ is (3 , 2)

∴ $(x_{2},y_{2})$ is (6 , 11)

∵ Point (x , y) divides AB two-thirds from A to B

- That means the distance from A to the point (x , y) is 2/3 from

the distance of the line AB, and the distance from the point (x , y)

to point B is 1/3 from the distance of the line AB

∴ $m_{1}:m_{2}$ = 2 : 1

∵ $x=\frac{(3)(1)+(6)(2)}{2+1}=\frac{3+12}{3}=\frac{15}{3}=5$

∴ The x-coordinate of the point of division is 5

∵ $y=\frac{(2)(1)+(11)(2)}{2+1}=\frac{2+22}{3}=\frac{24}{3}=8$

∴ The y-coordinate of the point of division is 8

∴ The point of division is (5 , 8)

Maranda praticed a total of 52 hours in 4 weeks to prepare for a piano recital. If she practiced the same number of hours each w

RUDIKE [14]

The number of practice hours per week for Maranda's piano recital is 13 hours

Overall practice hours = 52 hours

Number of weeks of practice = 4 weeks

Since, the number of practice hours per week is the same ;

Number of hours practiced each week can be obtained by dividing the overall practice hours by the number of weeks of practice.

Number of practice hours per week = Overall practice hours ÷ Number of weeks of practice

Number of practice hours = (52 ÷ 4) = 13 hours

Therefore, Marana practiced for 13 hours each week.

What is (30 1/9 + 4 1/3) - 19 5/6

weqwewe [10]

14 11/18
I got this answer by doing 30 1/9 + 4 1/3= 34 4/9
Now I subtracted 34 4/9 by 19 5/6 to get the answer 14 11/18
