The answer is twenty four
U = {points on the coordinate plane}
A = {solutions to the equation y = 2x + 5}
B = {points on the line y = mx}
Value of the slope m so that {2x + 5} ∩ {mx} =Ф
This means that {2x + 5} never intersects with {mx}
To that end m=2 (same slope), if so the 2 linear functions:
y = 2x+5 and y = 2x are PARALLEL
Factors of 18
If he has 1 friend, he gives 18 cookies
2 friends, 9 each
3 friends, 6 each
6 friends, 3 each
9 friends, 2 each
18 friends, 1 each
these are the common factors of 18. I don't know whether fractions are applicable here but I hope this helps.
