For this answer you will have to use the order of operations, aka PEMDAS. P-Parenthesis E-Exponents M-Multiplication D-Division A-Addition S-Subtraction
This is a very easy question because there aren't any exponents.
We can first look at the Parenthesis because that is what comes first in PEMDAS.
(17+5) All we have to do is 17+5= 22
Then we can do multiplication...
so we have 22 times .5 which equals 11.
Lastly, we will do subtraction because there is no addition....
I think it is 1,039 All you have do is, 17+5=22 and then you put that to the side for now an do 50-0.5 which is 49.5then multiply 49.5 by 22 and that gives you 1,039. I hope this helps.
No, the lines are not parallel because, the equation 1, is parallel to x-axis and the lnter one is not (only possible when other equation is also parallel to x-axis)
