Pls help solve question 3

If m is the midpoint of ab it means am is equal to mb

am = 3x + 8 and mb = 6x-4

and ab  = am + mb

first find the value of x by using am = mb

3x + 8 = 6x - 4

8 + 4 = 6x - 3x

12 = 3x

x = 4

ab = 3 (4) + 8

= 12 + 8 = 20 = mb

ab = am + mb

= 20 + 20

40

so, the value of ab is 40

answer: the price of one pound cabbage = $ 0.8

the point (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds cabbage is $ 8

step-by-step explanation:

since, here is a proportional relation between the number of pounds of cabbage (x) and the price in dollars (y).

therefore, we can write,

⇒ y = k x

where k is the constant of proportionality.

now, point (5,4) is in the line.

thus, it will satisfies the above equation of line.

⇒ 4 = 5 k

⇒ k = 0.8

thus, the equation of the line is,

y = 0.8 x

a) for x = 1,

y = 0.8

therefore, the cost of one pound of cabbage is 0.8 dollars.

b) in the below graph (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds of cabbage is 8 dollars.
