<h3>Answer: A) intersecting</h3>

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

Work Shown:

Solve the first equation for y

x+y = ab

y = -x+ab

y = -1x + ab

slope = -1, y intercept = ab

-----------

Solve for y in the second equation

bx - y = a

bx - y - a = 0

bx-a = y

y = bx - a

Slope = b, y intercept = -a

-----------

The first equation has a slope of -1. The second equation has a slope of b.

Since b cannot equal -1, this means the two equations have different slopes. It is impossible for these two lines to be parallel, because parallel lines have equal slopes. The different slope values tell us the lines cross at exactly one point.

Adriano wants to get a new cell phone plan. Company A: $80 for a new phone in the monthly fee of $45 a month. Company B: she can
Degger [83]

Answer: it will take 2 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of months it will take for the total cost for both companies to be equal.

Company A: $80 for a new phone and the monthly fee of $45 a month. This means that the total amount that Company A charges for x months would be

80 + 45x

Company B: she can keep her all sound and pay $85 a month. This means that the total amount that Company B charges for x months would be

85x

For the total cost for both companies to be equal, the number of months would be

80 + 45x = 85x

85x - 45x = 80

40x = 80

x = 80/40 = 2

CAN YALL PLEASE WORK IT OUTTT <br><br> $18.79 + $2.11 + ‐$1.92 + $17.28
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

40.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the order of operations (Bodmas or Pedmas) tells you to add from left to right. So you would do 18.79 + 2.11 = 20.9, then you would do 20.90 + 1.92 (Add 0 at the end of 20.9) = 22.81. Then you will add 22.81 + 17.28 = 40.1. So your answer is 40.1. Hope this helps!
