Answer:Find the distance between the parallel lines m and n whose equations are y = x + 4 and y = x - 6, respectively.

There are several ways to do this...here's one

Let (0, 4) be a point on the first line

Then.......a line with a negative reciprocal slope going through this point will have the equation :

y = -x + 4........so......we can find the intersection of this line with y = x - 6....set both equations equal

-x + 4  = x - 6   add x, 6 to both sides

10 = 2x     divide both sides by 2

5  = x

So...using -x + 4, the y value  at intersection  = -1.......

So...we just need to find the distance from  (0,4)  to ( 5, -1)  =

√[ (5)^2 + (4 + 1)^2 ] =  5√2  ≈  7.07 units

Here's a pic....AB is the distance  with A = (0,4)  and B = (5, -1)

***PLEASE HELP WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!!***
Ede4ka [16]

in the number line, the end points are DG, and the point in between is O

DG = 88

DO = 5x + 12

OG = 2x

Set the equation. The two parts (DO & OG) are equal to the whole (DG)

2x + 5x + 12 = 88

Simplify. Combine like terms

(2x + 5x) + 12 = 88

7x + 12 = 88

Isolate the x. Remember to do the opposite of PEMDAS. Subtract 12 from both sides

7x + 12 (-12) = 88 (-12)

7x = 76

Isolate the x. Divide 7 from both sides:

7x/7 = 76/7

x = 76/7

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Find DO. Plug in "76/7" for x:

DO = 5x + 12

DO = 5(76/7) + 12

Simplify. Remember to follow PEMDAS. Multiply 76 with 5

DO =  380/7 + 12

Next, divide 380 with 7

DO = 54.29 (rounded)

Finally, add

DO  = 54.29 + 12

DO = 66.29

66.29 is your answer

hope this helps
