On a number line, point B is two-thirds the distance from point A to point C and is located at -5. If A is at -11, what is the greatest possible coordinate of point C? \n" ); document.write( "--------- \n" ); document.write( "Draw the picture::: \n" ); document.write( "A.............B......C \n" ); document.write( "-11...........-5.....?\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "================== \n" ); document.write( "From -11 to -5 is |-11--5| = |-11+5| = |-6| = 6 units \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "Equation: \n" ); document.write( "(2/3)(A to C) = 6 \n" ); document.write( "A to C = (3/2)6 \n" ); document.write( "A to C = 9 units \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "The coordinate of C is -2 \n" ); document.write( "=============================== \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( "================\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "A)-20 \n" ); document.write( "B)-2 \n" ); document.write( "C)-1 \n" ); document.write( "D)4 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
