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

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

$400 and $1,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the x be the amount invested in 7% account

And, 600 + x be the amount invested in 9% account

Now the equation is

7x% + 9%(600 + x) = $118

0.07x + 54 + 0.09x = $118

0.16x = $118 -$54

0.16x = $64

x = $400

And, the other one is = $400 + $600 = $1,000

fredd [130]

Answer:

Initial height or what the ball was originally bounced from a height of 9 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

9 represents the height that the ball was originally bounced from.

If you plug in 0 for n into f(n)=9(0.7)^n, you get:

f(0)=9(0.7)^0=9(1)=9.

9 feet is the initial height since that is what happens at time zero.
