4x-2y=8 ==> y=2x-4 (to better show you what I mean)
2 lines are parallel if they have the same slope (m the coefficient of x).
So y=mx + b // y =2x-4 means m=2 & y=mx + b, becomes y=2x + b.
Moreover they are telling us that this function passes by (-2,1), where -2 represents x & 1, represents y. To calculate b , replace x & y by their values:
y=2x+b ==> 1 = 2(- 2) + b==> 1 = -4 + b ==> b= 5. Finally the equation is
y=-2x+5
Answer:
7 cups
Step-by-step explanation:
1 cup = 8 fluid ounces
7 cups x 8 fluid ounces = 56 fluid ounces
56 is greater than 53
56 > 53
Answer: Yes
Explanation: Yes because, sometimes you need to do stuff to get things of your head
Answer:
Torrance spends 16$ on his brother
Step-by-step explanation:
You have 100$
So, we have
x (brother) + x (sister) + x (mother) = 100
But, since 10$ less will be spent on the sister than the brother, it becomes (x - 10) and twice + 6$ is spent on the mom, it also becomes (2x + 6)
Our equation then becomes
(x - 10) + x + (2x + 6) = 100
X will end up equaling 26. This is how much is spent on the sister.
(x - 10) will be substituted for (26 - 10), which equals 16.
I'm not sure if this is right so you might want to check with somebody (since I may be wrong) I hope this helps you understand how to basically do it though. <3
