If there are fractions, eliminate them using the right methods. Then gather x and y terms on one side, and the rest on the other side. Simplify.
A parallel line must have the same slope. The only one it can be is A
What is the question here.
(1/2)(X+Y)-(1/3)
2 gallons * $2.58 per gallon = $5.16 expenses (total spent)
2 gallons * 16 cups = 32 total servings
32 cups * $0.75 per cup = $24 gross revenue (total income)
$24 - $5.16 = $19.84 net revenue (profit)
