Which of the following is correct about parallel lines?

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

C. Nonvertical parallel lines will have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines never intersect, so they must have the same slope. The reason why option A is incorrect is because if they had the same y-intercept, they would be considered the same line directly on top of each other, and parallel lines never touch. :)

Mr.Williams, a parking lot owner, sold 20% of his lot to his neighbor. Later that year he sold 20% of the remainder of his lot t

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer: He still owns 64% of the Mr.Williams' original parking.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Area of the original parking plot.

First he sold 20% of his lot to neighbor .

Sold plot = 20% of x = 0.20x [Replace 'of' by '×' and divide number by 100 to remove %]

Reminder= x-0.20x= (1-0.20)x=0.80x

Again he sold 20% of the remainder .

Sold plot = 20% of (0.80x) = 0.20 (0.80x)

= 0.16x

Remainder plot = 0.80x-0.16x= 0.64x

Percent of Mr.Williams' original parking lot does he still own = $\dfrac{0.64x}{x}\times100=64\%$

Hence, he still owns 64% of the Mr.Williams' original parking.

Phoebe and finn are sharing

pychu [463]

Answer:

Let's define:

P = pies that Phoebe ate

F = pies that Finn ate

We know that together they ate 29/12 pies, then:

P + F = 29/12

We know that Finn ate more than Phoebe, then F > P.

And we know that Phoebe ate more than 5/6 of a pie, then:

P > 5/6.

Then we have the relations:

P + F = 29/12

P > 5/6

F > P

To find different combinations we can just give one of the variables a value.

We have a direct condition on P, which is:

P > 5/6

So we can just give P any value larger than 5/6 and find the value of F.

For example:

P = 6/6 = 1

Then:

F + 1 = 29/12

F = 29/12 - 1 = 29/12 - 12/12 = 17/12

And 17/12 > 5/6

So we meet the condition F > P.

Then we have the combination:

P = 1

F = 17/12

Now let's find another condition, this time let's use:

P = 5/6 + 1/12 = 10/12 + 1/12 = 11/12

Then:

F + 11/12 = 29/12

F = 29/12 - 11/12 = 18/12

And 18/12 > 11/12

Then we meet the condition:

F > P.

We have the combination:

F = 18/12

P = 11/12

Now for the last combination, we can use:

P = 5/6 + 3/12 = 10/12 + 3/12 = 13/12

Then:

F + 13/12 = 29/12

F = 29/12 - 13/12

F = 16/12

And 16/12 > 13/12

Then we meet the condition F > P

We have the combination:

F = 16/12

P = 13/12.
