Answer:
Q (2.5, -4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let A (1, -5), C = (10, 1), find Q (x, y), so that AQ:QC = 1:5
AQ = (x - 1, y + 5)
QC = (10 - x, 1 - y)
AQ:QC = 1:5
so 5*AQ = QC
5(x - 1) = (10 - x)
5(y + 5) = 1 - y
Solve them:
5x - 5 = 10 - x
6x = 15
x = 15/6 = 2.5
5y + 25 = 1 - y
6y = -24
y = -24/6 = -4
Then answer is Q (2.5, -4)
Answer:
Ishmael finished the most
Step-by-step explanation:
80 is 55% of what = about 145 = 65 left
216 is 25% of what = 864 = 648 left
40 is 70% of what = about 57 = 17 left
8 - 8x is already in its simplest form.
Without knowing the value of x, you cannot find what is equivalent to 8 - 8x, but you can it if is an equation, such as 8 - 8x = 88 (x would be -10).
However, you can still rewrite it as -8x + 8, which is equivalent to 8 - 8x.
I believe the answer to your question would be x = -y + 2
