Look at the first line: y = (3/5)x - 3. What happens if you multiply each term by 5, to eliminate the fraction?
5y = 3x - 3
Compare this to the second equation,
5y - 3x = -10, or 5y = 3x - 10.
The coefficients of x and y (as 3 and 5 here) determine the slope of a straight line. Since 5y = 3x is present in both equations, the two lines MUST be parallel.
y = 4
4y = 6 => y = 6/4
y+4 and y =3/2 are both horizontal lines. Since they are horiz., they are parallel.
In the problem it is already given that Weston Laundry washed 285.38 pounds of towel and 353.47 pounds of sheets from local hotels in 1 day. Firstly we have to find the total pounds of linens that Weston Laundry has washed in 7 days. Then only will it be possible to find the amount of linen washed in a day.
Then t
Total linen washed by Weston Laundry in 7 days = (285.38 + 353.47) pounds
= 638.85 pounds.
Then
The amount of linen washed by Weston Laundry in 1 day = 638.85/7
= 91.26 pounds
So Weston Laundry washed about 91.26 pounds of linen each day.
Answer:
24 munchkins.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let C be the number of chocolate and D be number of glazed donut holes in the original box.
We are told if Jacob ate 2 chocolate munchkins, then 1/11 of the remaining Munchkins would be chocolate. We can represent this information as:

We are also told if he instead added 4 glazed Munchkins to the original box, 1/7 of the Munchkins would be chocolate. We can represent this information as:
Upon substituting C's value from equation (2) in equation (1) we will get,
Let us have a common denominator on right side of equation.


Multiplying both sides of our equation by 7, we will get,

Multiplying both sides of our equation by 11, we will get,
Therefore, the total number of Munchkins in original box is 24.
