Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For a point to be the midpoint of a line segment, it must bisect it into two equal segments and be on the line segment (hence, colinear with the endpoints). All four B points are equidistant from points A and C, but aren’t colinear with A and C. Therefore, they aren’t all midpoints of line segment AC.

I hope this helps! :)

Jack and Jane are married and both work. However, due to their responsibilities at home, they have decided that they do not want

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

By setting up a system of equations we can easily solve this problem. Let's denote Jane's working hours with x and Jack's working hours with y. Since they don't want to work more than 65 hours, the first equation is x+y=65. The second equation is 14x+7y=770. By solving this system of equation $\left \{ {{x+y=65} \atop {14x+7y=770}} \right.$ , we find that y=20 hours, which is Jack's maximum working hours.

Sara is collecting signatures to pu on her towns ballot. So far, she has 432 signatures. This is 36% of the number of signatures

In-s [12.5K]

Sara needs to collect 1200 signatures.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

x be the total number of signatures she needs to collect

Given percentage = 36%

Signature collected = 432

According of statement;

36% of x = 432

$\frac{36}{100}*x=432\\$

$\frac{36x}{100}=432\\Multiplying\ both\ sides\ by 100\\100*\frac{36x}{100}=432*100\\36x=43200\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 36\\\frac{36x}{36}=\frac{43200}{36}\\x=1200$

Sara needs to collect 1200 signatures.
