Which shows how to find the x-coordinate of the point that will divide AB into a 2:3 ratio using the formula
(4 b )(x2 – xz) + x; ?
=)(-3-2) +2
O x=(*)(2+3) - 3
O x=) (-3-2) + 2
O x = {})(2+3) - 3

is there answer choices?

.

step-by-step explanation:

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:   x (x+6)^2, choice b

discussion:

factor x out of the equation:

x^3 + 12x^2 + 36x = x (x^2 + 12x + 36).

note that 6+6 = 12 and 6*6 = 36 so the above factors into:

x (x+6)^2

which is choice b

let x and 400 - x be the two numbers.  

==> 0.80x + 0.85(400 - x) = 400 - 68 from the statement of the problem.  

< ==> 0.80x + 0.85(400 - x) = 400 - 68  

==> 340 - 0.05x = 332  

< ==> -0.05x = -8 ==> x = 160, the first number ==> 400 - x = 240, the second number.
