Answer:
(-2, 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given:</u>
- Point A is at (2, -8) and point C is at (-4, 7)
<u>Difference of coordinates:</u>
- Δx = 2 - (-4) = 6
- Δy = - 8 - 7 = - 15
<u>The ratio of AB to AC is 2:1. So:</u>
- AB = 2*AC/3 and BC = AC/3
<u>Then coordinates of point B should be 2/3 from the point A:</u>
- x = 2- 6*2/3 = 2 - 4 = -2
- y = - 8 - (-15)*2/3 = -8 + 10 = 2
So point B has coordinates of (-2, 2)
The sum of b and f is b+f
Three times this sum is 3(b+f)
Answer:
x=5
Step-by-step explanation:
-5(-x - 1) + 4x – 1= 49
Distribute
5x +5 +4x -1 = 49
Combine like terms
9x +4 = 49
Subtract 4 from each side
9x+4-4 = 49-4
9x = 45
Divide by 9
9x/9 =45/9
x = 5
