I'm doing a math assignment and I'm stuck on question one and it only shows the others after I solved the first one so can someone get in contact with me and help me with this question and help with the others to btw p is -31 and R is -7

-31+7/8(-7-(-31)) = -10

#

I don't know what I was smoking earlier

#

Q is -10

#

The reason why is
P = -37
R = -7
and the distances
PQ = Q-P = Q-(-31) = Q+31
QR = R-Q = -7-Q
so a ratio of PQ to QR being 7 to 1 implies PQ/QR = 7 which implies PQ = 7QR.
using the values for PQ and QR found Q+31 = 7(-7-Q) = -49-7Q
hence Q+7Q = 8Q = -49-31 = -80.
thefore Q=-10.
