Hi there!

Since the slope of a lime that is parallel is always the same, the answer is a. -1.

Since the slope of this equation is -1, the slope of any other parallel line is the same (or else the lines would intersect and not new parallel anymore).

Hope this helps!

He lowest temperature on May 15 is 2 3 as warm as the warmest temperature on May 15. The lowest temperature on May 15 is 60?F. W
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

90^{o}F.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be warmest temperature on May 15.

We have been given that the lowest temperature on May 15 is 2/3 as warm as the warmest temperature on May 15. The lowest temperature on May 15 is 60^{o}F.

We can set our given information in an equation as: \frac{2}{3}x=60.

Now let us solve for x by multiplying both sides of our equation by 3.

3*\frac{2}{3}x=3*60

2x=180

x=\frac{180}{2}

x=90

Therefore, the warmest temperature on May 15 was 90^{o}F.

Subtract. Write the difference in simplest form.<br><br>(5n - 3) - (-2n + 7)​
kolezko [41]

Answer:

Simplifying

(5n + -3) + -1(-2n + 7) = 0

Reorder the terms:

(-3 + 5n) + -1(-2n + 7) = 0

Remove parenthesis around (-3 + 5n)

-3 + 5n + -1(-2n + 7) = 0

Reorder the terms:

-3 + 5n + -1(7 + -2n) = 0

-3 + 5n + (7 * -1 + -2n * -1) = 0

-3 + 5n + (-7 + 2n) = 0

Reorder the terms:

-3 + -7 + 5n + 2n = 0

Combine like terms: -3 + -7 = -10

-10 + 5n + 2n = 0

Combine like terms: 5n + 2n = 7n

-10 + 7n = 0

Solving

-10 + 7n = 0

Solving for variable 'n'.

Move all terms containing n to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '10' to each side of the equation.

-10 + 10 + 7n = 0 + 10

Combine like terms: -10 + 10 = 0

0 + 7n = 0 + 10

7n = 0 + 10

Combine like terms: 0 + 10 = 10

7n = 10

Divide each side by '7'.

n = 1.428571429

Simplifying

n = 1.428571429

There were 80 runners to start a race. In the first half of the race, 1/4 of them dropped out. In the second half of the race, 2
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

36 runners finished the race.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first half of the race, 1/4 of them dropped, so we need to calculate 1/4 of 80:

(1/4) * 80 = 80/4 = 20

If 20 runners dropped out, now we have 80 - 20 = 60 runners.

Then, in the second half, 2/5 of the remaining runners dropped out, so:

(2/5) * 60 = 2*60/5 = 120/5 = 24

If 24 runners dropped out, now we have 60 - 24 = 36 runners.

So, 36 runners finished the race.
