Step-by-step explanation:

The selling price for a $5 profit will be ...

Tema [17]
Let's say that x represents hours that Elizabeth volunteers over 1 week. Katie volunteers x+3 and Siobhan x-1 hours per week. The equation that arises from condition in text is:
3*(x+3) = 3*(x + x-1)
x+3 = 2*x - 1
2*x - x= 3+1
x=4.

Elizabeth volunteers    7 hours
Katie volunteers          4 hours
Siobhan volunteers     3 hours

Need help finding the parallel and perpendicular slope
Rudik [331]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(x₁, y₁) = (19 , -4)   & (x₂ ,y₂) = (17, -20)

Slope =\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

        = \frac{-20-[-4]}{17-19}\\\\= \frac{-20+4}{17-19}\\\\= \frac{-16}{-2}\\\\= 8

m = 8

Parallel lines have same slope.

Parallel slope = 8

Slope of perpendicular line = \frac{-1}{m}

Perpendicular slope = \frac{-1}{8}

Find m∠Y if m∠Y is six more than three times its supplement.
Svetlanka [38]
To answer this item, we let x be the measure of angle Y. If we say supplement, it is understood that when we sum up the measures of the two angles (angle Y and its supplement) the answer should be 180. Therefore the other angle is 180-x. Going back to the condition given in this item, we will be able to generate an equation,
                                         x = 3(180 - x)
The value of x from the equation is 135. Thus, m∠Y is 135°.
