Consider point P(x,y) such that P, X and Y are collinear,
As vectors
XP = XO + OZ where O(0,0)
XP = OZ - OX
XP= (x,y) - (-3,3)
XP = (x+3, y-3)
Similarly,
PY = (6-x, -3-y)
But XP= 2^PY
[x+3, y-3] = [2(6-x), 2(-3-y)]
Given both vectors are equal, as they go in the same direction, Solve for x and y accordingly:
x+3 = 12 - 2x
x = 3
y-3 = -6-2y
y = -1
Therefore, P(3,-1)
Answer:
$0.25
Step-by-step explanation:
You can use systems of equations to solve this.
3a+2p = 1.25
5a+p = 1.5
Multiply the second equation by 2.
3a+2p = 1.25
10a+2p = 3
Subtract the bottom from the top
-7a= -1.75
Divide by -7
a= 0.25
Each apple is $0.25 (in this case, the peach also costs $0.25)
Answer:
the shortest side is 855 miles long.
Step-by-step explanation:
a + b + c = 3078 miles
a = b - 71
c = b + 371
=>
(b-71) + b + (b+371) = 3078
3b + 300 = 3078
3b = 2778
b = 926 miles
a = 926 - 71 = 855 miles
c = 926 + 371 = 1297 miles
Estimation: 500×7=3,500
Product: 503×7=3,521
