Answer:

<em>Peter now has 54 baseball cards</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Percentages</u>

Assume Peter had x baseball cards in his collection. The 35% of his initial collection is

35 * x / 100= 0.35x

We know that those 14 new baseball cards represent a 35% of his previous collection, therefore we can set a simple equation

0.35x=14

When we solve for x, we'll know how many baseball cards Peter had before

x=14 / 0.35 = 40

Peter had 40 cards, he added 14 new baseball cards, so he now has 40+14=54

Peter now has 54 baseball cards

1) first find the ratio of gallons to minutes which is 150/6=25, so 25 gallons a minute.now divide 20,000 by 25=800 and that is the answer
2)so, we found the proportion 25:1 or 25 gallons a minute
3)we do the same thing we did for find, find the ratio per square feet 700/2=350, next we divide 1960 by 350. that should get you 5.6

Hope I helped! :)

So in this case, the solution is where the graphs intersect. Put the equations in y-intercept form.
-4x+y=-6
y=4x-6

8x-2y=14
-2y=14-8x
y=4x-7

These lines have the same slope, which is 4. Therefore, they are parallel. Parallel lines never intersect, so there is NO SOLUTION.
