A, B, and C are collinear B is between A and C. If AB = x+4, BC = 2x-10, and AC =2x+1. then find the value for x

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

A, B, and C are collinear B is between A and C.

AC = AB + BC

2x + 1 = x + 4 + 2x - 10

2x + 1 = 3x - 6

2x - 3x = - 6 - 1

- x = - 7

x = 7

do you mean add both of the equations together

because if you do the answer is 10x-5

step-by-step explanation:

(0,-3) see attached graph

step-by-step explanation:

a. to solve the system, graph the two equations.

x = y+3 becomes y=x-3 has m=1/1 and b=-3. start at (0,-3) on the y-axis and plot a point. then move up 1 unit and 1 unit to the right. plot a point and connect.

y=-4x+3 has m =-4/1 and b=-3. start at (0,-3) on the y-axis and plot a point. then move down four units and to the right 1 unit. plot a point and connect.

the solution is the point (x,y) where the two lines intersect. by the graph below it is (0,-3).

b. to solve by substitution, substitute y = -4x-3 into x= y+3

x= (-4x-3) +3

x=-4x

5x=0

x=0

now substitute x = 0 back in to find y.

y= -4(0)-3

y=0-3

y=-3

solution is (0,-3)

c. use elimination by adding the equations together.

x-y=3

4x+y=-3

5x=0

x=0

then substitute into one equation to find y.

y=-4(0)-3

y=-3
