It's true
collinear means they are on the same line so ST=SU
so if ST= 50 then SU=50 making T the midpoint of line that is 100

Silently he crept through jagged thornbushes. Bare feet moved swiftly over hot, arid soil to the edge of a waterhole where the kudu was drinking. The great animal suddenly looked up, spiral horns curving sharply into the endless African sky. Nsue1 did not reach for his pouch of poisoned arrows. He had no heart for killing. This would not be the day he would change his childish boyhood name.

Assuming they work until their cost become the same, obviously.
The difference between the first charge of painter A and painter B = 376 - 280 = 96.
The hourly cost difference between painter B and painter A = 15 - 12 = 3.
So, painter A in the first hour has 96 more dollars than painter B, and as every hour pass, the difference goes down by 3 (as painter B gets 3 more dollars every hour)
Therefore, it would take 96 : 3 = 32 hours for the cost to be the same
Recheck : After 32 hours, painter A has 376 + 32 x 12 = 760 (dollars)
painter B has : 280 + 15 x 32 = 760 (dollars)
I am torn between B and D because increased means add, but I am going to go with B 1 - 3n. I choose B because in the D option it decreases not increases.
So the answer is B.) 1 - 3n
