Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they lie on the same line, it means that they are collinear.

Since they are collinear, the value of the slope between each 2 point is the same. Hence, we can have points PQR with the slopes PQ, PR and QR being the same.

The general formula for finding the slope of a line with 2 end points is :

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

using the first two points,

m = (0 - 9)/-1 -2 = -9/-3 = 3

Now to get the value of n. We can use the second point and the point containing n.

This means:

3 = (21 - 0)/(n + 1)

3 = 21/n + 1

3n + 3 = 21

3n = 18

n = 6

Ed wants to buy a new video game system which costs $250. he has
BARSIC [14]

The required equation is <u>135 + 9x > 250</u>.

The number of lawns Ed must mow is assumed to be x.

The amount Ed charges for each lawn he mows is $9.

Thus, the total amount Ed earns by mowing x lawns = $9x.

The savings which Ed has is $135.

Thus, the total amount Ed will have to spend can be written as the expression, $(135 + 9x).

The cost of the video game is given to be $250.

We are asked to write an equation, that can be used to find the number of lawns Ed mow, that is x so that the amount Ed has will be more than the amount he needs to buy the video game.

This can be shown as the equation:

Total amount Ed has > Cost of the video game,

or, 135 + 9x > 250.

Thus, the required equation is <u>135 + 9x > 250</u>.

Your little cousin will have a big animal-themed birthday party and you will help with the goody bags. Each bag will have a penc
Bas_tet [7]

Using the least common factor, it is found that:

  • a) 60 packages should be bought.
  • b) There will be 5 filled goody bags.

<h3>Least Common Factor:</h3>
  • The sizes of the packages are: 10, 6, 15 and 12.
  • To fill each bag and have no left-overs, the number of packages is the <u>least common factor</u> of these amounts.
  • The least common factor is found factoring the numbers into prime factors.

Item a:

10 - 6 - 15 - 12|2

5 - 3 - 15 - 6|2

5 - 3 - 15 - 3|3

5 - 1 - 5 - 1|5

1 - 1 - 1 - 1

Hence, lcf(10,6,15,2) = 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 = 60.

60 packages should be bought.

Item b:

Goody bags are in packages of 12, hence:

60/12 = 5.

There will be 5 filled goody bags.

If point C is not located between points A and B, then AC + CB= AB
Naddik [55]

The location  AC + CB  is  mathematically given as

AC + CB= AB

This is further explained below.

<h3>What is the location  AC + CB of  AB ?</h3>

Because point C can be seen to be in between A and point B, the equation AC + CB must equal AB.

It is important to keep in mind that point C may be located in any part of the space between A and B; yet, the solution will still be considered to be AB in this scenario.

Again, AC + CB = AB.

In conclusion, By way of deduction: if point C is located between points A and B, then it follows that point C is situated on line AB conversely, if point C is not situated on line AB, then it cannot be located between points A and B. As a result, you are able to deduce that AB is a line and that point C is situated on it in the middle of points A and B.
