Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
If you look at A and you subtract 3x by 4x you get x and you subtract 3 from -7 and you get -10. But if you look at B you do the stuff in the parentheses first and you get 4x+12x+28=16x+28 and they're the same so it's B.
Let x be the distance from Syracuse where they pass. The first car travels a distance of x in time x/65 while the second car travels a distance 240-x in time (240-x)/55. They pass at the same time after leaving their starting points so x/65=(240-x)/55.
Cross-multiplying we get: 55x=65(240-x)=15600-65x, 120x=15600, x=15600/120=130 miles.
They pass 130 miles from Syracuse.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
If the three points are collinear
then

we have
A (1, 2/3), B (x, -4/5), and C (-1/2, 4)
The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

step 1
Find the slope AB
we have

substitute in the formula



step 2
Find the slope AC
we have

substitute in the formula



step 3
Equate the slopes


solve for x





simplify
