Question

Can someone help me with this ????

Answer 1

A.

`((3)/(3+5))(2 - (-14))+ (-14)`

Explanation:

Given

Ratio = 3:5

Q = -14

S = 2

Required

Which solution uses
`((m)/(m+n))(x_2 - x_1)+ x_1`

From the given parameters;

`m:n = 2:5`

`m = 2\ and\ n = 5`

`x_1 = -14\ and\ x_2 = 2`

Substitute the above values in
`((m)/(m+n))(x_2 - x_1)+ x_1`

This gives:

`((m)/(m+n))(x_2 - x_1)+ x_1`

`((3)/(3+5))(2 - (-14))+ (-14)`

From the list of given options, only option A uses the given form of the formula...
