The given expressions 7+ 7x ; 7 x + 1/7 are not equivalent or equal

to each other

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us firstly assume that 7 + 7x is equivalent ( to 7(x + 1/7) so that means

7 + 7x = 7(x + 1/7)

7 + 7x = 7x + 7(1/7)

7 + 7x = 7x + 1

7x + 7 = 7x + 1

Now, subtracting 7x from both sides, we get:

7x - 7x + 7 = 7x - 7x + 1

(7 - 7)x + 7 = (7 - 7)x + 1

(0)x + 7 = (0)x + 1 thus their occurs a false statement:

7 = 1 ( we know, 7 >1)

Thus we can say that

7 + 7x is NOT equivalent to 7(x + 1/7)

What is the distance between parallel lines whose equations are y = 2x + 7 and y = 2x – 3?

malfutka [58]

Answer:

The distance is $\sqrt{20}$ or $2\sqrt{5}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of parallel: 2

Slope of perpendicular: -1/2

Pick a point for y =2x + 7. For example (0,7)

Use the perpendicular slope to get to the other line to find the other point of y=2x-3. Look at the screenshot...I got (4,5).

Distance formula $\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1} )^{2}+(y_{2} -y_{1})^2 }$

Insert (0,7) and (4,5)

$\sqrt{(0-4)^{2}+(7-5)^2 }$ = $\sqrt{(-4)^{2}+(2)^2 } = \sqrt{(16)+(4)} } = \sqrt{20} = 2\sqrt{5}$
