Answer:
1) x = 17, line a parallel to line b
2) x = 18, line a parallel to line b
Step-by-step explanation:
If line a parallel to line b then (10x - 40) + 50 = 180
Solve for x
10x - 40 + 50 = 180
Combine like terms
10x + 10 = 180
10x = 170
x = 17
x = 17, line a parallel to line b
-------------------------------------------------
If line a parallel to line b then 5x - 16 = 74
Solve for x
5x - 16 = 74
5x = 90
x = 18
x = 18, line a parallel to line b
Answer:
The answer is 2
Step-by-step explanation:
To find this, follow the order of operations as laid out below.
120(2x - 2) = 240 ----> Divide both sides by 120
2x - 2 = 2 ----> Add 2 to both sides
2x = 4 ------> Divide both sides by 2
x = 2
Answer:
<em>(D)</em>
Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:
Let x represent the amount of weeks she is saving up for the bike, and y represents the cost of the bike.
The equation would look like this:
So, let's say the bike costs $2000.
Divide 2000 by 20, and it will give you the x value (or, the amount of weeks it will take)
It will take 100 weeks for her to save $2000 for the bike, if she puts back $20 each week.
$7.50(2)=$15.00 (She takes the taxi twice, and its $7.50 each time she takes it)
$0.45(16)+$0.45(8)=$10.80 (Each mile is $0.45, she goes 16 miles on the way to work, and only 8 miles on the way home. Since she walks half way and takes the taxi the other half. Half of 16 is 8)
$15.00+$10.80=$25.80
Alexis pays $25.00 per day for her taxi rides.
