The viewer mistakenly determined that one of the equations in the system should be 2 x + y = 28. Instead modifications should have been made before applying the equation.
<h3>What is an Equation ?</h3>
An equation is a mathematical statement formed when two algebraic expressions are equated using an equal sign.
Total Questions = 20
Total Points = 28
Correct Answers = +2 points
Incorrect Answers = -1 point
The viewer represents the correct answers with x and the incorrect ones with y.
x+y = 20
for every correct answers 2 points;
and for every incorrect answers, -1 point
This can be written as
2x-y = 28
The viewer's mistake is that; instead of subtracting total incorrect points from the correct points, the viewer added them together;
now
2x-y = 28
x+y = 20
On adding the equations
]3x = 48
x = 16
y = 4
This means that the contestant answered 16 questions correctly and 4 questions incorrectly
The viewer mistakenly determined that one of the equations in the system should be 2 x + y = 28.

The area doesn't tell you the dimensions. There are an infinite number of different answers, all with the same area but different dimensions.
Here are a few:
1 ft by 864 ft
2 ft by 432 ft
3 ft by 288 ft
4 ft by 216 ft
8 ft by 108 ft
16 ft by 54 ft
24 ft by 36 ft
27 ft by 32 ft.
The area of each of these is 864 square feet.
Answer:
and 
are parallel.
is neither parallel nor perpendicular.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you have to simplify each equation in terms of y.
Your first equation is already in terms of x, so simplify your second equation.
Now you can simplify your third equation.
These are your three equations in terms of y:
Now, all you have to know is how to tell using your slope if a line is parallel or perpendicular to another.
Two parallel lines will have the exact same slope.
Two perpendicular lines will have slopes which are opposite reciprocals. For example, a line with a slope of 2 is perpendicular to a line with a slope of 
, as they have opposite signs and are reciprocal (2/1 versus 1/2) to each other.
Your first two equations have the same slope and are therefore parallel.
Your third equation is a reciprocal, but it is not opposite, and is therefore not parallel nor perpendicular.
