First, we need to calculate for x. Since,
MP = PN
Thus,
3x-4 = x+4
2x = 8
x = 4
<span>Next, we calculate for MS </span>
MS = 2x + 2 = 10
Since, MS = 2SQ
10 = 2SQ
Then,
SQ = 5 units
Therefore, the correct answer is B.
3)The original rational number was 17/12.
4)The age of Ruby and Reshma are 20 and 28 years respectively.
Explanation:
3)Let the numerator be x.
So denominator will be (x - 5)
If we add 5 to numberator then it will be (x + 5)
New number is (x + 5)/(x - 5)=11/6
Solve for X by cross multiplying
6(x + 5)=11(x - 5)
6x + 30=11x - 55
5x=85
x=17
So original rational number was 17/12.
4)The ages of Ruby and Reshma are in the ratio 5:7
So, let the present ages of Ruby and Reshma be 5x and 7x respectively.
Also, it is given that four years from now the ratio of their ages will be 3:4
So, the equation - 5x + 4 / 7x + 3 = 3/4
⇒4(5x+4)=3(7x+4)
⇒20x+16=21x+12
⇒21x−20x=16−12
⇒x=4
⇒5x=20 and 7x=28
The age of Ruby and Reshma are 20 and 28 years respectively.
That is the answer it was to long to write down
Answer:
P ( -1, -3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given ratio is AP : PB = 3 : 2 = m : n and points A(5,6) B(-5,-9)
We will calculate coordinates of the point P which divides line segment AB in the following way:
xp = (n · xa + m · xb) / (m+n) = (2 · 5 + 3 · (-5)) / (3+2) = (10-15) / 5 = -5/5 = -1
xp = -1
yp = (n · ya + m · yb) / (m+n) = (2 · 6 + 3 · (-9)) / (3+2) = (12-27) / 5 = -15/5 = -3
yp = -3
Point P( -1, -3)
