So first thing you gotta do is multiply the first equation by 5. Your first equation will be
.
Since these two lines are the same line, they have infinite solutions.
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
To the nearest 0.5°C means basically 1 digit after the decimal point.
0.5 has 1 digit (5), after the decimal point. To the nearest 0.5 means that the answer should have 1 digit after the decimal point.
For example, if we were to round 14, to the nearest 0.5, we would need to write it as 14.0 (with 1 digit after decimal).
Now, looking at the answer choices, we eliminate A because it has 2 digits after decimal. We eliminate B and C because there is NO DIGIT after decimal. And we accept D, because it has 1 digit after decimal. Hence, this is correct to the nearest 0.5°C.
Answer is D
The distance between the two streets along Kendall is 347.9 feet.
Solution:
The image of the problem is attached below.
Distance between Wilmington to Ash Grove along Kendall = 820 feet
Distance between Wilmington to Ash Grove along Magnolia = 660 feet
Distance between Beech and Ash Grove along Magnolia = 280 feet
Distance between Wilmington to Beech along Magnolia
= 660 feet – 280 feet
= 380 feet
Let us x be the distance between Wilmington to Beech along Kendall and
820 – x be the distance between Beech and Ash Grove along Kendall.
The given streets are parallel.
By proportionality theorem, parallel lines cut by a transversal are in proportion.

Do cross multiplication.





Distance between Beech and Ash Grove along Kendall
= 820 – x
= 820 – 472.1
= 347.9
Hence the distance between the two streets along Kendall is 347.9 feet.
