You can verify that Point X, with coordinate of (6,6) divides in a 1:2 ratio by finding the distance between points A and B. Doing so, you will find that the distance between points A and B is equal to 12, so 6 is half of 12. Therefore, the point (6,6) or X is halfway between points A and B(12), making the ratio 6:12 or simplified to 1:2.
Answer:
2n - 5 = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number = n
Twice a number = 2n
5 less than twice a number = 2n - 5
2n - 5 = 7
The answer for you problem is -6.
2(-7)+8
-14 +8
