58=12+2x
Subtract 12 from each side
46=2x
Divide each side by two
23=x
The cost of each pass is $23
bearing in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, so

so we're really looking for a line whose slope is 3 and runs through (1,5)

Amount of the job done after 2 hours:
2(1/6 + 1/8)
2(4/24 + 3/24)
2(7/24)
7/12 (amount of job finished)
.
amount of job left to do:
1 - 7/12
12/12 - 7/12
5/12 (remaining)
.
Let x = time (hours) slower press takes to finish job
then
x(1/6) = 5/12
multiplying both sides by 6:
x = 5/12 *6
x = 5/2 hours
or
x = 2 hours and 30 minutes
The slower press (8-hour press), will take h 3 hours, 20 minutes to complete the job
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
eq. of line parallel to y=34x-9 is y=34 x+k
∵ it passes through (-8,-18)
∴-18=34×-8+k
k=-18+272
k=254
so reqd. eq. is y=34 x+272
