answer

the number of buses is 3

the number of cars is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

total number of the students=165

total number of the vehicles=9

let x represent the number of cars

let y represent the number of buses

x+y=9...........equation 1

(the number of the cars plus the number of the buses= to the number of vehicles )

5x + 45y=165.......equation 2

(the number of student the car can hold plus the number of student the bus can hold= to the total number of the student in a class)

x+y=9.......eqn 1

5x +45y=165....eqn 2

make x the subject of the formula in eqn 1

x+y=9

x= 9-y

substitute for x= 9-y in eqn 2

5(9-y)+45y=165

45-5y+45y=165

-5y+45y=165-45

40y=120

divide both sides by 40

40y÷40=120÷40

y=3

since y represent number of buses,the numbet of bus is 3

Also,substitute for y=3 in eqn 1

eqn 1 is x+y=9

x+3=9

x=9-3

x=6

therefore,the number of cars is 6.

Point A is located at ​(4, 8)​ and point B is located at ​(14, 10)​ . What point partitions the directed line segment ​ AB⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯
andrew11 [14]

The 1:3 ratio means that the distance from A to the point is 1/4 of the distance from A to B.

The difference of y-coordinates is 10-8 = 2. 1/4 of that is 2·1/4 = 1/2, so the point of interest will have y-coordinate 8 + 1/2 = 8 1/2. This apparently corresponds to the first selection:

... (6 1/2, 8 1/2)
