Determine whether the pair of equations represent parallel lines, perpendicular lines, or neither.

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

Parallel

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope but different y-intercepts. If you multiply the top equation by 2, you get:

2(12x + 4y = 16)

24x + 8y = 32

This shows that both lines have the same slope, but then you find the y-intercepts, they are different:

1st equation y-int = 4

2nd equation y-int = 9/2 or 4.5

Out of 275 coins, 120 are quarters. Of the remaining coins, 20% are nickels and the rest are dimes and pennies. There are 3 penn

Airida [17]

Total number of coins in question = 275
Number of quarters among the total coins = 120
Then
Remaining number of coins = 275 - 120
      = 155
Percentage of coins that are nickel = 20%
Then
Number of coins that are nickel = (20/100) * 155
   = 155/5
   = 31
Remaining number of coins = 155 - 31
      = 124
Ratio of dimes to pennies = 1:3
Let us assume the common ratio to be = x
Then
x + 3x = 124
4x = 124
x = 124/4
   = 31
So
The number of pennies = 3 * 31
   = 93
From the above deduction we can conclude that there are 93 pennies. The correct option among all the options given in the question is option "C".

Next-door neighbors Bob and Jim use hoses from both houses to fill Bob's swimming pool. They know that it takes 12 h using both

Leokris [45]

Answer:

Jim's hose: 27 hours.

Bob's hose: 21.6 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t represent hours taken by Jim's hose.

Part of pool filled by Jim's hose in 1 hour would be $\frac{1}{t}$ .

We have been given that Bob's hose, used alone, takes 20% less time than Jim's hose alone. This means that Bob's hose take will take 80% time of Jim's hose that is $0.8t$ .
