Lines with no solution are parallel lines....parallel lines will contain the same slope, but different y intercepts.
y = -2x + 3/2....slope (m) = -2 and y int (b) = 3/2
so the line we need will have a slope of -2, but can have any y int EXCEPT 3/2.
m = -2, and b = -1/3 is parallel, no solution
m = -2 and b = -2/3...parallel, no solution
The bike shop made $28 dollars profit. First, you add the cost of the bike and the cost of the helmet, which is $84. Then you divide that by 150 to get what 1% would be, which is .56. Then you multiply that by 50%, which is the part of the price that the shop profited, which is $28.
The answer is a because you fill in 4 where 2(x) is for the x
