Answer:

BC = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

If the three points are collinear, it means they lie on the same straight line.

Now B lies between A and C

By mathematical convention;

AC = AB + BC

This means;

48 = 2x + 2 + 3x + 6

48 = 5x + 8

48-8 = 5x

5x = 40

x = 40/5

x = 8

From the question BC = 3x + 6

Substitute the value of x; 3(8) + 6 = 24 + 6 = 30

At the start of the month, Stephen’s savings account had a balance of $1,624. He made a $420 withdrawal each week for four weeks

goldenfox [79]

420 x 4 = 1,680. $1,624 - $1,680 = - $56. $600 x 2 = 1,200 + 1000 = 2,200. This minus the $56 he overdrew = an end of month balance of $2,144.

Which statement must be true? a b c d

lozanna [386]

ANSWER

$\boxed {m \ne0}$

EXPLANATION

The given function is

$f(x) = mx + b$

We need to find the inverse of this function,

Let

$y= mx + b$

We interchange x an y to obtain,

$x = my + b$

We solve for y now to obtain,

$x - b = my$

We divide through by m to get,

$\frac{x - b}{m} = y$

Hence the inverse function is ,

${f}^{ - 1} (x) = \frac{x - b}{m}$

For this inverse to exist, the denominator must not be equal to zero,

Thus

$m \ne0$

The correct answer is A.
