The value of x is 7 for the given collinear points a, b, and c as b is the mid-point of ac.

According to the given question.

a, b, and c are collinear points. Which means all points a, b, and c lie in a same plane.

b is lies between a and c.

Also,

ab = x, bc = x and ac = 24.

Since, b lies in between a and c, and it is given that ab = x and bc = x.

Which means b is the mid point of ac.

Therefore,

ab + bc = ac

Substitute the values of ab, bc and ac in the above equation.

⇒ x + x = 14

⇒ 2x = 14

⇒ c = 14/2

⇒ c = 7

Therefore, the value of x is 7.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Number of white chocolate bars = x

Number of dark chocolate bars = y

Total bars = 15

x + y = 15 --------------(I)

Total cost = Php. 340

20x + 25y = 340 ----------------(II)

2)  We can use elimination method to solve this equations.

Multiply equation (I) by (-20) and then add the equations.

(I)* (-20)          -20x  -20y = - 300

(II)                    <u>20x + 25y = 340 </u>     {Now add and x will be eliminated}

                                  5y = 40

                                    y = 40/5

y = 8

Substitute y = 8 in equation (I)

x + 8 = 15

      x = 15 - 8

x = 7

3) Number of dark chocolate bars = 8

The scneario here expressed is an aritmetic sequence because it can be explained like this: 

<span><span><span>a1</span>=35
</span><span><span>an</span>=<span>a<span>n−1</span></span>+<span>17

So all the variables can fit in and will be better explained than a geometric sequence in which you need a common ratio and that is not needed in this case</span></span></span>
