Find the difference and simplify your answer correctly<br> 7/12-2/5

iragen [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

7/12-2/5

We will find the LCM of it to make the denominators same.

Which is 60

Now to make denominators same

7/12×5/5

= 35/60

2/5×12/12

= 24/60

Now using these like values

35/60-24/60

= 11/60

The fraction is already in lowest terms

Suppose line segment AB has one endpoint at A(0, 0). What are the coordinates of B if (5, 3) is 1/3 of the way from A to B?

prisoha [69]

Answer:

$B(x_2,y_2)= (20,12)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$A = (0,0)$

$Ratio; m : n = 1 : 3$

$Point\ at\ 1 : 3 = (5,3)$

Required

Coordinates of B

This question will be answered using line ratio formula;

$(x,y) = (\frac{mx_2 + nx_1}{m + n},\frac{my_2 + ny_1}{m + n})$

In this case:

$(x,y) = (5,3)$

$(x_1,y_1) = (0,0)$

$m : n = 1 : 3$

Solving for $(x_2,y_2)$

$(x,y) = (\frac{mx_2 + nx_1}{m + n},\frac{my_2 + ny_1}{m + n})$ becomes

$(5,3) = (\frac{1 * x_2 + 3 * 0}{1 + 3},\frac{1 * y_2 + 3 * 0}{1 + 3})$

$(5,3) = (\frac{x_2 + 0}{4},\frac{y_2 + 0}{4})$

$(5,3) = (\frac{x_2}{4},\frac{y_2}{4})$

Comparing the right hand side to the left;

$\frac{x_2}{4} = 5$ -- (1)

$\frac{y_2}{4} = 3$ -- (2)

Solving (1)

$x_2 = 5 * 4$

$x_2 = 20$

Solving (2)

$y_2 = 3 * 4$

$y_2 = 12$

Hence;

$B(x_2,y_2)= (20,12)$

In parallelogram ABCD , BE=7x−2 and ED=x2−10 .

Stells [14]

I'm assuming that the diagonals intersect at E. Since diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, BE=ED.

7x-2=x²-10
x²-7x-8=0
(x-8)(x+1)=0
x = -1, 8

As distance must be positive, we reject the negative case, so x=8.

Thus, BE=ED=54.
