If these two lines are parallel, they would have the same gradient.

Since Gradient = Rise / Run,

8 / -12 : -4 / 1

These two ratios are obviously not the same, so we can conclude the lines are not parallel.

Len [333]

Answer:

115.5 tickets sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding the percent of something is the same as multiplying by that percent as a decimal. So, 70% = 0.70.

0.70 x 165 = 115.5 tickets sold.

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{14\ \text{and}\ 7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$n,\ m-\text{positive integer}\\\\n=2m-\text{a positive integer is twice another}\\\\\dfrac{1}{n}+\dfrac{1}{m}=\dfrac{3}{14}-\text{the sum of the reciprocal of the two positive integer is }\ \dfrac{3}{14}\\\\\text{We have the system of equations:}\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}n=2m&(1)\\\dfrac{1}{n}+\dfrac{1}{m}=\dfrac{3}{14}&(2)\end{array}\right$

$\text{Substitute (1) to (2):}\\\\\dfrac{1}{2m}+\dfrac{1}{m}=\dfrac{3}{14}\\\\\dfrac{1}{2m}+\dfrac{1\cdot2}{m\cdot2}=\dfrac{3}{14}\\\\\dfrac{1}{2m}+\dfrac{2}{2m}=\dfrac{3}{14}\\\\\dfrac{1+2}{2m}=\dfrac{3}{14}\\\\\dfrac{3}{2m}=\dfrac{3}{14}\Rightarrow2m=14\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\\dfrac{2m}{2}=\dfrac{14}{2}\\\\\boxed{m=7}$
