If A, B and C are collinear, then:

AB+BC=AC\\\\AB=x+4,\ BC=2x-10,\ AC=2x+1

substitute:

(x+4)+(2x-10)=2x+1\\\\(x+2x)+(4-10)=2x+1\\\\3x-6=2x+1\ \ \ |+6\\\\3x=2x+7\ \ \ \ |-2x\\\\x=7\\\\AB=x+4\to AB=7+4=11\\\\BC=2x-10\to BC=2(7)-10=14-10=4\\\\AC=AB+BC\to AC=11+4=15

A grocer has 2 kinds of tea, one that sells for $8.00 per pound and the other that sells for $6.00 per pound. How many pounds of
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

35 pounds of $8.00 tea and 15 pounds of $6.00 tea

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the pounds of tea of the $8 kind. 8x would represent the total cost of that type of tea. We can also say 50 - x is the pounds of tea of the $6 kind, so 6(50 - x) is the total cost of that type of tea. 50 * 7.4 represents the total cost of all the tea, and the expression 8x + 6(50 -x) would also represent the same thing. We can write this as an equation,

8x + 6(50 -x) = 50 * 7.4

simplify,

8x + 300 - 6x = 370

2x + 300 = 370

and solve.

2x = 70

x = 35

This means there is 35 pounds of the $8 kind.

We can subtract that from 50 to find,

50 - 35 = 15,

15 pounds is the amount of the $6 kind.

3√6-4√6 Please simplify
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

= -√6

Step-by-step explanation:

1) collect like terms by subtracting coefficients:

3√6 - 4√6

(3-4)√6

2) calculate (3-4):

(3-4)√6

-1√6

3) the coefficient of -1 does not have to be written, but the negative sign remains:

-1√6

-√6

so therefore:

-√6 is your answer

The ratio between the square of a number and it's cube is 1:3 what is the number ​
Dimas [21]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Call that number “x”

The square of that number is x^2

Also as the cube is x^3

The ratio between these 2 values is 1:3, this means x^2 / x^3 = 1 / 3

<==> 1 / x = 1 / 3 (eliminate “x^2” for numerator and denominator of the fraction x^2 / x^3 )

<==> x = 1 * 3 / 1 = 3

So, that number is 3 ! This math problem seems simple ;)
