Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

ratio is 5:4:1

David: Malachy: Paul

David gets 20 (that is 4 times more than the original ration. so need to multiply everything by 4)

4*4=16

1*4=4

new ration- 20:16:4

So David gets 20

Malachy gets 16

Paul gets 4

Answer:

<h3>perpendicular line:    y = -¹/₆ x + 4¹/₃ </h3><h3>  parallel line:              y = 6x - 45 </h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

y=m₁x+b₁   ⊥   y=m₂x+b₂   ⇔    m₁×m₂ = -1

{Two lines are perpendicular if the product of theirs slopes is equal -1}

y = 6x - 7   ⇒   m₁=6

6×m₂ = -1        ⇒    m₂ = -¹/₆

 

The line y=-¹/₆ x+b passes through point (8, 3) so the equation:

3 = -¹/₆ ×8 + b must be true

3 = -⁴/₃ + b

b = 4¹/₃

Therefore equation in  slope-intercept form:

                                                     y = -¹/₆ x + 4¹/₃

y=m₁x+b₁   ║   y=m₂x+b₂   ⇔    m₁ = m₂

{Two lines are parallel if  their slopes are equal}

y = 6x - 7   ⇒   m₁=6   ⇒   m₂=6

The line y=6x+b passes through point (8, 3) so the equation:

3 = 6×8 + b must be true

3 = 48 + b

b = -45

Therefore equation in  slope-intercept form:

                                                     y = 6x - 45
