Working: 3x + (3x - 16) = 136
6x - 16 = 136
6x = 152
x = 25 1/3
(longer piece) = 76 ft
(shorter piece) = 60ft

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (8,0) and is parallel to the line x-4y=20?
Goshia [24]

Answer:

y= 1/4 (x -8)

Step-by-step explanation:

x -4y= 20

-4y= -x + 20

y= 1/4 × -5

y - y1 = m (x - x1)

y - 0 = 1/4 (x -8)

y= 1/4 (x -8)
