I believe that the answer is b
The answer is A. You would want to multiply the top by 4 to make y into 4y so that 4y and -4y and cancel when adding the two equations leaving you to solve for x.
Hope this helps.
Parallel lines have the same slope! The slope measures how steep the line is, and parallel lines are equally steep.
It follows quite immediately that line 2 has also slope -1/2.
Answer:
5x+8y
Step-by-step explanation:
We can first open the brackets by using the distrubitive propety.
2(x+4y)+3x
2x+8y+3x
Now we can combine like terms.
5x+8y.
I combined the 3x and the 2x. This works because imagined I have 3 of something then I got 2 more of that something I would now have 5 of that something.
