<h3>Answer: x = 4</h3>

===============================================

Explanation:

Saying "Points A,B, and C are collinear" means the three points all fall on the same line. For the sake of simplicity, assume the line is horizontal.

Since B is between A and C, we know that the order of the points from left to right is A, B, C.

Through the segment addition postulate, we say,

AB+BC = AC

(x+3) + (x) = 11

x+3+x = 11

2x+3 = 11

2x = 11-3

2x = 8

x = 8/2

x = 4

------------------

Extra info:

Using x = 4, we see that

AB = x+3

AB = 4+3

AB = 7

Note how this adds to BC = x = 4, getting us,

AB+BC = 7+4 = 11

which is the length of segment AC. This confirms AB+BC = AC is true and confirms our answer.

Given the inequality -8 &lt; 2, explain what happens when you multiply or divide both sides by 2 and what happens when you multi
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

The inequality sign remains same while multiply or divide both sides by positive numbers.

The inequality sign changes while multiply or divide both sides by negative numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given inequality is - 8 < 2.

Now, if we multiply 2 in both sides then - 16 < 4

Again, if we divide by 2 into both sides then  - 4 < 1

Therefore, the inequality sign remains the same while multiply or divide both sides by positive numbers.

Now, if we multiply -2 in both sides then 16 > -4

And, if we divide -2 into both sides then 4 > -1

Therefore, the inequality sign changes while multiply or divide both sides by negative numbers. (Answer)

Help ! Please ! If a/2 - b/3=1 , what is 2a+3v in terms of b?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]
A/2-b/3=1  solve for a, add b/3 to both sides

a/2=1+b/3 which is equal to

a/2=(3+b)/3  multiply both sides by 2

a=(6+2b)/3  now you can substitute this into 2a+3b giving you:

2(6+2b)/3 + 3b which is equal to

(12+4b+9b)/3

(13b+12)/3
