Answer:

x = -63

Step-by-step explanation:

If the points A(x,2), B(-3, -4), and C(7, -5) are collinear, the line that passes B and C, also passes A.

The line passes B and C has the form of y = ax + b

=> -4  = a(-3) + b

    -5  = a(7) + b

=> Subtraction 1st equation from 2nd equation, we have:

    -1 = 10a

=> a = -1/10

=> b = -4 + 3(-1/0) = -43/10

=> This line has form of y = (-1/10)x -43/10

This line passes A(x, 2)

=> 2 = (-1/10)x - 43/10

=> 2 + 43/10 = (-1/10)x

=> 63/10 = (-1/10)x

=> x = -63

Hope this helps!

When truckers are on long-haul drives, their driving logs must reflect their average speed. Average speed is the total distance
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

0.500 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

<em><u>Distance</u></em>

  • Total Distance on the highway = 3hr * 60 miles / hr = 180 miles
  • Distance in the city = 20 miles
  • Total Distance = 180 + 20 = 200 miles

<em><u>Time</u></em>

  • Time on the highway = 3 hours
  • Time in the city = x

Formula

d /t = r

Solution

  • Average rate = 57.14
  • Total Distance / Total Time = average rate
  • 200 / (3 + x) = 57.14                               Multiply both sides by 3 + x
  • 200 = 57.14 * (3 + x)                               Remove the brackets
  • 200 = 57.14*3 + 57.14x                           Multiply the factors on the right
  • 200 = 171.42 + 57.14x                              Subtract 171.42 from both sides.
  • 200 - 171.42 = 171.42 - 171.42 + 57.14x   So the subtraction
  • 28.58 = 57.14x                                         Divide by 57.14
  • 28.57/57.14 = x
  • x = 0.500 hour                                        Answer
