They are both of the form y = mx + b where m = slope
m = 2 for both so they are parallel
Answer:
y=9x-17; x=17/9 or x=1 8/9 or x=1.8
y=x+23; x= -23
Step-by-step explanation:
y=9x-17
0=9x-17 (Move variables to the left-hand side and change its sign)
-9x=-17 (Divide both sides of the equation by -9)
x=17/9, x=1 8/9, or x=1.8
y=x+23
0=x+23 (To find x-intercept/zero, substitute y=0)
-x=23 (Move variable to the left-hand side and change its sign)
x= -23 (Change the signs on both sides of the equation)
x= -23
10 more than (+ 10) a number (x) is greater than (>) 50
x + 10 > 50
To solve, subtract 10 from both sides.
x > 40
Answer: the store paid $18.3 for the sweater
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the amount that the store paid for the sweater.
A store marks up the price of a sweater by $7.35. This means that the new or current price of the sweater at the store would be
7.35 + x
The total cost of the sweater is 25.65. Therefore, an equation to represent the problem would be
7.35 + x = 25.65
Subtracting 7.35 from the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation, it becomes
7.35 + x - 7.35 = 25.65 - 7.35
x = $18.3
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
-5/4 is smaller than -2/3 since on the negative sides, any number who is larger is smaller.
0.75 is smaller than the square root of 3 since that equals to 1.7.
1.9 is smaller than the absolute value of -4 since that equals to 4.
