A segment with endpoints at $A(2, -2)$ and $B(14, 4)$ is extended through $B$ to point $C$. If $BC = \frac{1}{3} \cdot AB$, what are the coordinates for point $C$? Express your answer as an ordered pair.

  C = (18, 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

You have ...

  AB : BC = 1 : 1/3 = 3 : 1

  (B -A) / (C -B) = 3/1 . . . . . another way to write the distance relation

  B -A = 3(C -B) . . . . . . . . . multiply by (C-B)

  4B -A = 3C . . . . . . . . . . . add 3B

  C = (4B -A)/3 . . . . . . . . . divide by 3 to get an expression for C

  C = (4(14, 4) -(2, -2))/3 = (54, 18)/3

  C = (18, 6)

42

step-by-step explanation:

256/6=42

mr. flanders’ class sold 47 doughnuts and   mr. rodriquez’s class sold 38 cartons of milk

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of doughnuts sold by mr. flanders’ class and y be the number of cartons sold by mr. rodriquez’s class.

1. together, the classes sold 85 items, then

x+y=85.

2. both classes earn earned $104.49 for their school. if doughnuts were sold for $1.35 each, then x doughnuts costed $1.35x. if cartons of milk were sold for $1.08 each, then y cartons costed $1.08y. hence,

1.35x+1.08y=104.49.

3. solve the system of two equations:
