Answer:

y = \frac{1}{3}x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Solve for y in the first equation</u>

3y - x = -12

3y - x + x = -12 + x

\frac{3y}{3} = \frac{x}{3} - \frac{12}{3}

y = \frac{1}{3}x - 4

<u>Step 2:  Determine the important aspects</u>

We know that our line is parallel to the other line that has a slope of 1/3 which means that our slope is also going to be 1/3.  We also know that our line crosses the point (18, 2) which means that we can use the point slope form to determine our equation

Point Slope Form → (y-y_1) = m(x - x_1)

<u>Step 3:  Plug in the information and solve</u>

(y-2) = \frac{1}{3}(x - 18)

y - 2 = \frac{1}{3}x - 6

y - 2 + 2 = \frac{1}{3}x - 6 + 2

y = \frac{1}{3}x-4

Answer: y = \frac{1}{3}x-4

In recent year a letter to Europe from the United States cost $0.94 to mail. A letter mailed within United States cost $0.44. Na
Bogdan [553]
3 letters to US = 3*0.94 = 2.82
2 local letters = 2*0.44 =  0.88 
checking: 2.82+0.88 = 3.70

to get rid out of 0.04 cents you have to multiply it by 5. so total number of letters would be 5.

Angle JKL is an equilateral triangle jk=13x+5 KL=17x-19 and JL=8x+35
Goshia [24]

The value of x is 6, then the value of JK is 83, KL is 83 and JL is 83.

<h3>What is a triangle?</h3>

A triangle is a polygon that has three sides and three vertices. It is one of the basic figures in geometry.

An equilateral triangle is a shape with three sides that have an equal measure of side length.

The 3 sides of triangle JKL are equal to each other, therefore we can equate any of the two sides together to find the unknown variable called x.

So, JK = KL

JK = 13x + 5

KL + 17x - 19

13x + 5 = 17x - 19

Collect like terms;

17x - 13x = 19 + 5

4x = 24

x = 24/4

x = 6

We can now proceed to find the sides;

JK = 13x + 5

13 x 6 + 5

= 78 + 5

= 83

JK = 83

KL = 17x - 19

= 17 x 6 - 19

= 102 - 19

= 83

KL = 83

JL= 8x + 35​

= 8 x 6 + 35

= 48 + 35

= 83

JL = 83

Hence, The value of x is 6, then the value of JK is 83, KL is 83 and JL is 83.
