Hell ya this question sucks its interest is 14% mark me brainlyiest
<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.
Think about it this way, what is 5x3??? 15 right. Ok then what is 5x30???? 150. So the store should sell each soccer ball for $5 each:)
5/8 9/x
Cross multiply
9x8=72
5×x=5x
Rewrite the equation
72 = 5x
Divide by 5
72÷5=14.4
So, x=14.4
