Answer:
d) |-5 - (-2)|

total number of students : 1240
Answer:
parallel
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve both equations for y to make it easier to compare them.
2x - 5y = 0 ↔ 5y = 2x, or y = (5/2)x.
y = (5/2)x - 3
Since the slopes are the same, the two lines are parallel.
let l = lance, and a = alex.
so: l + a = 70
and l = 4a
Putting the value for l in the first equation:
4a +a = 70
5a = 70
a = 14.
So Alex has 14 pencils. And Lance has (70-14) 56 pencils.
And if each child gets half of Alex' pencils, then each child will have 7 pencils.
