Answer:

a = -7/23.

Step-by-step explanation:

For them to lie on the same line the slope of the line joining the first 2 points must equal the slope of the line joining the second and third points.

so (3 - -5) / (-a+2 - 3) =   (2 - 3) /[(2a + 3) - (-a + 2)]

8 / (-a - 1) = -1 /  (3a + 1)    Cross multiply:

-1(-a - 1) = 8(3a + 1)

a + 1 = 24a + 8

-7 = 23a

a = -7/23.

Jessica has saved $50. She will add $25 to her savings each week. Ron has saved $40 and will add $25 to his savings each week.
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

Jessica will have saved $175, and Ron will have saved $165.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jessica starts out with $50. She adds $25 each week, and it's asking how much money she would have in 5 weeks. So, you multiply $25 by 5 to get $125. Then, you add $50 to that to get $175. Same thing for Ron. Multiply $25 by 5 to get $125, but this time add $40 to it to get $165.
