Find the value of x if a, b, and c are collinear points and b is between a and c. ab=5x−1,bc=14,ac=25−x

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!

if you get paid hourly because if you get a salary you could work all week and only get paid a certain amount no matter how much you work but if you get paid hourly then you get paid for every minute you worked.

if your equation is in the form ax2 + bx + c, you can find the maximum by using the equation:

max = c - (b2 / 4a).

the first step is to determine whether your equation gives a maximum or minimum.

-x2 + 4x - 2.     thats an example hope it
