3x+2y=6 and y=-3/2x+5

In order to solve for parallel, perpendicular, or neither, you have to look at the slope.

If the slope is the same for both equations, it is most likely parallel.
If it's the reciprocal (Where you flip the number and add change the signs. For example, the reciprocal of 1/2 is -2)
If the slope is not the same or the reciprocal, then it is neither. 

So for the first equation, your slope is:
3x+2y=6
2y=-3x+6
y=-3/2x+3      The equation y=mx+b can help you here, where m is the slope.
Your slope is -3/2

For the second equation, your slope is -3/2 since y=-3/2x+5 is already in y=mx+b form and m is the slope.

Since both slopes are -3/2, then you have parallel equations!

(Be careful though, sometimes it will have the same slope but there will also be the same y-intercept. If that happens, it's no longer parallel, but it's the same equation. Such as y=-3/2x+1 and y=-3/2x+1. In this case there will be infinite solutions, but parallel equations have no solutions.)

I hope this helps!! Please ask if you have more questions!

Theres 5 boxes of candle. One box has 16 candles Four boxes has 24 candles each How many candles do the five boxes have altogeth
algol13

Answer:

 112 candles

Step-by-step explanation:

We can simply add up the 5 numbers of candles, or we can take advantage of the invention of multiplication to replace repeated addition. The number of candles altogether is the sum of the numbers of candles in each of the 5 boxes.

  16 + 4×24 = 16 +96 = 112

The total number of candles is 112.

What is 5 over 10 times 5
Marina86 [1]

Answer: 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

5/10 * 5

5 becomes 5/1

Multiply 5*5 and get 25

Multiply 10*1 and get 10

Divide 25/10 and get 2.5

Remember: When multiplying decimals move to the RIGHT. When dividing decimals move to the LEFT

Example Multiplying: 2.465*100

Before: 2.465

After: 246.5

Example Dividing: 156.798 divided by 100

Before: 156.798

After: 1.56798

Hope this helps!!!!
