Answer: OPTION A

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is:

$y=mx+b$

Where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.

Solve for y from each equation:

$\left \{ {{5y=-4x+7} \atop {10y=-8x+14}} \right.\\\\\left \{ {{y=\frac{-4}{5}x+\frac{7}{5}} \atop {y=\frac{-8}{10}x+\frac{14}{10}}} \right.\\\\\left \{ {{y=\frac{-4}{5}x+\frac{7}{5}} \atop {y=\frac{-4}{5}x+\frac{7}{5}}} \right.$

As you can see the slope and the y-intercept of each equation are equal, this means that both are the exact same line. Therefore, you can conclude that the system has infinitely many solutions.

Point slope formula is y= mx+b. To find the slope, or m, you need to find the "rise over run". rise = y coordinates, run = x coordinates. And the slope equation is y1-y2/x1-x2. So let's say the first point is (x1,y1) and the second is (x2,y2). that would be 35-(-31)/5-(-6)= 66/11 or 6/1 aka up six, across one. That is your slope. So far you have y=6x+b, next plug (5,35) into that equation and solve for b (aka the y intercept). So: 35=6(5)+b. 35-30=b, b=5. So your final equation is y=6x+5.

FUNDRAISING A school is raising money by selling calendars for $20 each. Mrs. Hawkins promised a party to whichever of her Engli

____ [38]

Rj, this is the solution to question 19:

• 1st period class sold 60 calendars in total

• 2nd period class sold 123 calendars in total

We calculate the average per week, this way:

• 1st period class sold 60/4 = 15 calendars per week

• 2nd period class sold 123/4 = 30.75 calendars per week

In consequence the multiplication equation that represents this situation is:

15w + 30.75w = 183, where w is the number of weeks Mrs. Hawkins' classes sold calendars.

This is the solution to question 20:

We already know the average number of calendars that 1st and 2nd period classes sold per week. Now, let's calculate the average for 3nd 4th peiod classes, this way:

• 3rd period class sold 89 calendars in total

• 4th period class sold 126 calendars in total

Therefore, the average is:

• 3rd period class sold 89/4 = 22.25 calendars per week

• 4th period class sold 126/4 = 31.5 calendars per week

Summarizing, we have:

15 + 30.75 + 22.25 + 31.5 = 99.5 calendars was the average number sold by all her classes in a week.

Can someone please help as I'm not sure how to tackle this step by step? Especially question b, d, g, j, k, l. Not how sure to d

Arisa [49]

Step-by-step explanation:

√a = 1√a so we can solve them easily:

b) 3√7 -√7= 3√7 - 1√7 =( 3-1)√7= 2√7

d) 5√6 - 2√6+√6= (5-2+1)√6 = 4√6

g) √2+2√2= 3√2

j) √5+5√5 - 3√5 = 3√5

k) 2√3 + √3 - 5√3= -2√3

I) 5√11 + 7√11 - √11 = 11√11
