SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

168 books

Step-by-step explanation:

According to problem, given data are as follows:

Total books for sale = 280 books

Sold on first day = 3 out of 5 books

So, percentage of first day sold = 3 ÷ 5 = 0.6 or 60%

So, we can calculate the total books sold on day one by using following method,

Total books sold on first day = Total books for sale × percentage sold

By putting the value, we get

= 280 books × 60%

= 168 books

What is the distance between parallel lines whose equations are y = 2x + 7 and y = 2x – 3?
malfutka [58]

Answer:

The distance is \sqrt{20} or 2\sqrt{5}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of parallel: 2

Slope of perpendicular: -1/2

Pick a point for y =2x + 7. For example (0,7)

Use the perpendicular slope to get to the other line to find the other point of y=2x-3. Look at the screenshot...I got (4,5).

Distance formula \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1} )^{2}+(y_{2} -y_{1})^2   }

Insert (0,7) and (4,5)

\sqrt{(0-4)^{2}+(7-5)^2   } = \sqrt{(-4)^{2}+(2)^2   } = \sqrt{(16)+(4)}  } = \sqrt{20}  = 2\sqrt{5}
