Sorry can't answer that cause you need a diagram don't you?
The correct answer is y=-3x-10
when a line is parallel to another line that means the slip of the lines are going to be the same and since the y-intercept of the other line was given to you, you would just put them together in one equation.
Answer:
x=2/9,y=26/9
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a simultaneous equation
16x+5y=-2..(1)
4x-y=-2...(2)
From (2) make y the subject of formula
y=4x+2..(3)
Substitute (3) into (1)
16x+5(4x+2)=-2
16x+20x+10=-2
36x-10=-2
Add 10 to both sides
36x=8
Divide both sides by 36
x=8/36
Divide both denominator and numerator by 4
x=2/9
Substitute the value x into (3)
y=4(2/9)+2
y=8/9+2
Let the LCM be 9
y=8+18/9
y=26/9
Therefore x=2/9,y=26/9
Given:
grams of fat : 34 grams TO weight of woman : 102 pounds
grams of fat : ? TO weight of woman : 180 pounds
This is a proportion problem: 34 grams to 102 pounds.
We first have to convert a unit of measure to another to maintain uniformity of measure. let us convert pounds to grams:
102 pounds * 453.592 grams / pound = 46,266.384 grams
180 pounds * 453.592 grams / pound = 81,646.560 grams
34 grams to 46,266.384 grams = x grams to 81,646.560 grams
proportion: a:b = c:d where ad = bc
34 grams * 81,646.560 grams = x * 46,266.384 grams
2,775,983.04 grams² = x * 46,266.384 grams
2,775,983.04 grams² ÷ 46,266.384 grams = x
60 grams = x
A woman weighing 180 pounds should eat 60 grams of fat to maintain her weight.
