If the points are collinear, then that means they lie on the same line when connected to each other. In order to prove this, the distances between the points must sum up to the length of the line.
AB + BC = AC
7 + 4 ? 9
11 ≠ 9
Since they do not sum up, therefore, the points are not collinear.
First, it would help to simplify each side more:
Left side: 36 + 3(4x - 9) = 36 + 12x - 27 = 12x + 9
Right side: c(2x + 1) + 25 = 2cx + c + 25
Write the simplified equation:
12x + 9 = 2cx + c + 25
Usually when there is no solution, the coefficients of the variable on both sides are the same, so we can make the coefficient if x on the right side into 12:
2cx >>> 12x
Then, c must equal 6 to make this true.
The answer is choice (C).
So if the combined revenues were $51 billion. Then it would be best to divide that between the two companies as a starting point. Each company would have $25.5 billion if they were split 50-50. Since PepsiCo has 9 billion more than Coca-Cola. Simply take PepsiCo's value and add $9 billion to it, which would be $34.5 billion. Finally, take $51 billion, subtract it $34.5 billion, which is PepsiCo's value to get Coca-Cola's value, which is 16.5 billion for me.

Problem Solving
Linear equations are often used to solve practical problems that have an unknown quantity. We use a suitable pronumeral to represent the unknown quantity, translate the information given in the problem into an equation, and then solve the equation using the skills acquired earlier in this chapter.
Example 11
If a number is increased by 8, the result is 25. Find the number.
Solution:
Let x be the number. Increasing x by 8 gives x + 8, which we are told is 25. Therefore, x + 8 = 25. Subtract 8 from both sides to find x = 17. So, the number is 17.
