In a small town, there are 4 times as many left-handed males as there are left-handed females, and there are 3 times as many rig

ht-handed females as there are right-handed males. There are a total of 204 males and 348 females in the town.
Let x represent the number of left-handed females, and let y represent the number of right-handed males. Write a system of equations to represent the situation. What is the value of x, the number of left-handed females?

Answer:

  (b)  24

Step-by-step explanation:

The given variable definitions and the given relationships let us write these statements:

  LH males = 4 × LH females = 4x

  RH females = 3 × RH males = 3y

  LH males + RH males = 204 = 4x +y

  RH females + LH females = 348 = 3y +x

Your favorite method of solving equations of this sort can tell you ...

  (x, y) = (24, 108)

There are 24 left-handed females.

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

Other numbers involved here are ...

  y = 108 . . . . right-handed males

  204-108 = 96 . . . . left-handed males (=4×24)

  348-24 = 324 . . . . right-handed females (=3×108)

__

If you want to solve the equations by hand, you can use substitution for y to get an equation in x:

  3(204 -4x) +x = 348   ⇒   -11x = -264   ⇒   x = 24

Segment YZ has endpoints (6, 3) and (3, 9). Find the coordinates of the point that divides the line segment directed from Y to Z
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

  (4, 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

The point of interest is ...

  P = (2Z +1Y)/(2+1) = ((2·3+6)/3, (2·9+3)/3)

  P = (4, 7)

__

The point that divides the segment into the ratio a:b is the weighted average of the endpoints, with the weights being "b" and "a". The weight of the first end point corresponds to the length of the far end of the segment.
