If A, B and C are collinear, then:

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

substitute:

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

Otis paints the interior of a home for $45 per hour plus $75 for supplies. Shireen paints the interior of a home for $55 per hou

Step-by-step explanation:

you should only make one equation:

75 + 45x = 30 + 55x

subtract the 30 frim both sides, then subtract 45x from both sides. you are left with:

45 = 10x

Divide by 10 and get:

4.5 = x
