Answer:

x = your number

3 / ( x + 8 ) = 2 / ( x + 3 )

Cross multiply

3 ∙ ( x + 3 ) = ( x + 8 ) ∙ 2

3 x + 9 = 2 x + 16

Subtract 2 x to both sides

x + 9 = 16

Subtract 9 to both sides

x = 7

What point divides the line segment between (10,-2) and (-6,6) into a ratio of 5:3

olganol [36]

Answer: (0,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

You follow the formulas to find the x and y of the dividing points.

Xp= x1+ a/a+b (x2-x1)

Xp= 10+5/5+3(-6-10)

Xp=10+5/8(-16)

Solve the problem above and you end up with “0” as your x.

Yp= y1+ a/a+b (y2-y1)

Yp= -2+ 5/8 (6+2)

Yp= -2+ 5/8 (8)

Solve this problem above and you end up with “3” as your y. Therefore, the point that divides the line segment between (10, -2) and (-6,6) into a ratio of 5:3 is (0, 3).

Tim estimates that 60÷5.7 is about 10.Will the actual quotient be greater than 10 explain

Zepler [3.9K]

Well first you can do the problem. So take 60 divided by 5.7. When it is done it will come out to about 10.5263 which is a irrational number. So yes the quotient will be larger than 10.
Hope I helped!

Find the sum of the geometric series given a1=2, r=−3, and n=8.

inn [45]

Answer:

Sum of the G.P is -3280

Step-by-step explanation:

Summation:

${ \bf{sum = \frac{a( {r}^{n }-1 )}{r - 1} }} \\ \\ { \tt{sum = \frac{2( { { - 3}^{8 } -1)} }{ - 3 - 1} }} \\ { \tt{ = \frac{13120}{-4} }} \\ = -3280$
