I believe the answer is B) positive
X is Kevin; Y is Dan
X = 3Y
X - 4 = 5(Y - 4)
3Y - 4 = 5(Y - 4)
3Y - 4 = 5Y - 20
+ 4 +4
4 cancels each other out.
3Y = 5Y - 16
- 5 -5
5 cancels each other out.
-2Y = -16
/2 /2
Y = 8
X = 3Y;
X = 3 x 8;
Thus,
X = 24;
Kevin(x) is 24
Answer:
I think it’s C
I hope this helps you!!!!!
- Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b, with m = slope and b = y-intercept
So remember that <u>parallel lines have the same slope.</u> And since Line a's slope is 5/7, and line a and b are parallel to each other, this means that <u>line b's slope is 5/7.</u>
