If the points A(x,2), B(-3, -4) and C(7, -5) are collinear, then find the value of x

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

answer is 8x+24

area of vanessa's patio = length × width

given, length = (3x² + 5x + 10)

width = (x² - 3x - 1)

area of vanessa's patio = (3x² + 5x + 10)(x² - 3x - 1)

= 3x²(x² - 3x - 1) + 5x(x² - 3x - 1) + 10(x² - 3x - 1)

= 3x⁴ - 9x³ - 3x² + 5x³ - 15x² - 5x + 10x² - 30x - 10

= 3x⁴ - 4x³ - 8x² - 35x - 10

hence, expression of vanessa's patio = (3x⁴ - 4x³ - 8x² - 35x - 10)
