6/24 and 5/16 are the two friends who would have drank 1/4 of the juice.
DB is a median (given). It goes from vertex point D to midpoint B.
The point B is the midpoint of segment AC. So B cuts AC into two equal halves: AB and AC
Meaning AB = AC
AC = AB+BC ... segment addition postulate
AC = AB+AB ... substitution; replace BC with AB (valid because AB = AC)
AC = 2*AB
2*AB = AC
2*AB = 50 ... substitution; replace AC with 50
2*AB/2 = 50/2 ... divide both sides by 2
AB = 25 which is the answer
<u>answer (in words)</u>
FALSE. the coordinate pair (5, 2) is not a solution to the equation 
. in order to figure out whether or not the statement is true or false, plug the 
and 
values from the coordinate pair (5, 2) into the given equation, . if both sides of the equation end up equal, the coordinate pair is a solution to the equation. if not, the coordinate pair is not a solution to that equation.
<em>(i hope i explained that well enough, i'm better at explaining it algebraically as opposed to putting it into words lol)</em>
<u>answer (algebraic/steps for solving)</u>
first, plug in 5 for in the equation .
- ⇒
then plug in 2 for .
- ⇒
now your equation is . all that's left to do is to simplify. you can do this in whatever order you'd like, but i'll start with multiplying 2 · 5.
- ⇒
multiply 3 · 2.
- ⇒
add 10 + 6.
- ⇒
16 and 10 are <em>not</em> equal, therefore (5, 2) is not a solution to the equation . in order for a coordinate pair to be the solution to an equation, both sides of the equation need to end up equal after solving and simplifying.
i hope this helps! have a great rest of your day <3
The order of division determines the numerator and the denominator and this can effect the value. And example of this:
3/2 = 1.5
2/3 = 0.6667
Whereas, multiplication is not affected by the order:
2 x 3 = 6
3 x 2 = 6
