You can determine if things are parallel if the lines will eventually meet or not. M and N are one line while P and Q are also a line. Therefore, we can say P is one line while M is also one line. The answer would be is that they are parallel, the two lines will not crash with one another. To show your work as if they are parallel, you can continue the lines down and write a note saying they won't collide or you just say they won't collide and are parallel lines.
6x^2 + 7x - 5 = (3x + 5)(2x - 1)
Its 2x - 1
We can use a system of equations in order to solve for both of the numbers. Let's start off by assigning variables to each number. The bigger number can be 'x', and the smaller number can be 'y'.
We can make two equations from the given:
x = 18 + y
("One number is 18 more than another number")
x + y = 36
("The sum of the numbers is 36")
If you look at the first equation, the variable 'x' already has a value (18 + y). We can input its value into the second equation in order to solve for y:
x + y = 36
(18 + y) + y = 36
18 + 2y = 36
2y = 18
y = 9
Input the value of 'y' into the first equation:
x = 18 + y
x = 18 + 9
x = 27
<u>One number is 27 and the other number number is 9.</u>

Let me know if you'd like me to explain anything I did here.

Since you have to distribute both numbers, you'll end up with x^2-3x+4x-12 then simplify and it is x^2+x-12
b. It is a segment that touches the circle in exactly one point and makes a right angle with the radius.
Nothing really to be explained, it just the definition of the tangent.
