Beth won 86 pieces of gum playing hoops at her school’s game night. Later, she gave three to each of her friends. She only has 2 remaining. How many friends does she have.

That's a very dumb question, because some of her friends could be fakers and users. But, I'll answer it.

86 subtracted by 2 is 84.

It says she gave 3 to each friend so:

84 divided by 3 is 28.

She has 28 friends.

ab will be equal to

x coordinate can be written by using the formula, x= x1 + 2/5(x2 - x1)

step-by-step explanation:

formula

x = x1 + p/w(x2 - x1)

let the line segment ab with a(x1,y1) and b(x2,y2)

a point(x,y) divide ab in the ratio, 2: 3 the x coordinate can be written as

x = x1 + p/w(x2 - x1)

here p=2 and w = 2+3

therefore,

x coordinate can be written by using the formula, x= x1 + 2/5(x2 - x1)

similarly y coordinate y = y1 + 2/5(y2 - y1)
