Parallel line means the same slope
(8-1)/(-17-a)=(1-5)/(a+2)
so a is 18
Total distance is 132 miles x 2 times/day x 5 days = 1320 miles
That used 4 gallons of fuel, so 1320 miles/4 gallons = 330 miles per gallon
The gcf of 15 and 70 is 5
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Amount invested at 8% is $9000 and amount invested at 18% is $21000.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let amount invested at 8% be x.
Let amount invested at 18% be y.
We get the 1st equation as:
........(1)
We get the second equation as:

=> 
or getting rid of the decimal by multiplying by 100 on both sides.
........(2)
Multiplying (1) by 8 and subtracting from (2) we get
So, y = 21000
And 

So, x = 9000
Therefore, amount invested at 8% is $9000 and amount invested at 18% is $21000.
