Question

Points A, B, and C are collinear. Point B is between A and C. Find x if AB = 10x + 1, BC = 5x + 1, and AC = 17.
A)-11
B)-10
C)1
D)8

Answer 1

The value of x is 1 .(C)

Step-by-step explanation:

Three or more points lying on a straight line are said to be collinear

In this question, B is the point between A and C. This means;

AB+BC=AC where;

AB=10x+1

BC=5x+1

AC=17

10x+1 + 5x+1 =17

15x+2=17

15x=17-2

15x=15

x=15/15 =1
