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

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Collinear means that the points A, B and C all lie in a straight line, hence

AB + BC = AC, substitute values

5x - 1 + 14 = 25 - x

5x + 13 = 25 - x ( add x to both sides )

6x + 13 = 25 ( subtract 13 from both sides )

6x = 12 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 2

2 x^2 -3x+p

sum of roots = 3/2

let other root be x

3+ x = 3/2

x= 3/2 - 3 = -3/2

product of roots = p/2

3× -3/2 = p/2

-9 = p
