    The document contains three formulas relating ratios of masses (m) and distances (AB, DE, etc.) between points. It then shows the steps to: 1) Let the masses be represented by variables x, y, z 2) Simplify each formula into an equation relating the variables 3) Solve the equations simultaneously to find the values of x, y, z

    Formulas:

    m AB m DE m AB 4 cm
    a. = -> =
    m BC m EF 8 cm m EF

    m AC m DF m A C 3 cm
    b. = -> =
    mBC m EF 8 cm m EF

    m AB m DE m A B 4 cm
    c. = -> =
    m AC m DF m A C 3 cm

    Solutions:

    1. (Temporarily) let m AB , m A C and m EF be x, y and z respectively.

    m AB 4 cm x 4 cm
    = -> =
    8 cm m EF 8 cm z

    m A C 3 cm y 3 cm
    = -> =
    8 cm m EF 8 cm z

    m AB m DE x 4 cm
    = -> =
    m AC m DF y 3 cm

    2. Simplify each equation.

    x 4 cm
    = -> xz = 32 cm2
    8 cm z
    y 3 cm
    = -> yz = 24 cm2
    8 cm z
    x 4 cm 4y
    = -> x=
    y 3 cm 3

    3. Solve for x, y and c.


    4y
    Substitute x = to xz = 32 cm2
    3
    (4yz)/3 = 32 cm2

    yz = (32 cm2 * 3) / 4

    yz = (8 cm2 * 3)

    yz = 24 cm2

    y = (24 cm2)/z

    Substitute y = (24 cm2)/z to yz = 24 cm2
