Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If a line is parallel to another it must have the same slope

The slope/intercept form of a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b the y intercept

The line y = 2x + 5 has slope 2

So the slope of the line that passes through (2,3) must also have the slope 2

We have
y = 2x + b; Substituting x =2, y =3 in this equation gives us
3 = 2 (2) + b or b = -1

Hence the equation of the line is
y = 2x -1

Cross-check

Substitute for x = 2 ==> y = 2(2) - 1 = 3 which is consistent

Tickets at the carnival cost 35 each.on Friday night the carnivals earned a total of 12,425 in ticket sales on Saturday night th

Blababa [14]

ticket sale on Saturday night is triple the ticket sale on Friday night.

Therefore

ticket sales on Saturday night = 3 x 12425 = 37275

Then

ticket sales for both nights = 12425 + 37275 = 49700

A ticket costs 35.

Let the number of people that attended the carnival on both nights be n.

Then, we have

$\begin{gathered} 35n=49700 \\ \Rightarrow n=\frac{49700}{35}=1420 \end{gathered}$

Therefore 1420 people attended the carnival on both nights

Wirte a decimal for each of the following 9x100+2x10+3x0.1+7x0.001

borishaifa [10]

We need to perform multiplication and addition property for this problem to represent the final result in decimal form. So, the expression is,

9x100+2x10+3x0.1+7x0.001 .

Now 9 x 100= 900

2 x= 10= 20

3x0.1= 0.3

7x 0.001=0.007

Now we can all the numbers. Hence,

900+20+0.3+0.007=920.307

So, the decimal number is 930.307.
