Answer: 3/8x
To find the least common denominator first convert all integers and mixed numbers (mixed fractions) into fractions. Then find the lowest common multiple of the denominators. This number is same as the least common denominator .You can then write each term as an equivalent fraction with the same LCD denominator.
Step-by-step explanation:
Im not sure if its supposed y = -2x + 1 or y = 2x + 1 but I'll solve the problem for both.
First for y = -2x + 1
Since the line has to be parallel to y = -2x + 1
the slopes would be the same.
so, so far the equation would be
y = -2x + b
now we substitute (5,2) into the equation
2 = -2(5) + b
2 = -10 + b (Add 10 to both sides of the equation)
+10 +10
12 = b
Now that we solved for b
The equation would be
y = -2x + 12
^^ This equation is parallel to y = -2x + 1
Now to solve for an equation parallel to y = 2x + 1
Both equations would have the same slope
So far we would have
y = 2x + b
Now we solve for be by substituting the point (5,2)
2 = 2(5) + b
2 = 10 + b (subtract 10 from both sides)
-10 -10
-8 = b
After solving for b
The equation is
y = 2x - 8
This equation is parallel to y = 2x + 1

I did this with a pencil and no calculator while my daughter was practicing her driving. Please let me know if you have trouble reading it. You'll have to add the calculator stuff yourself.
Answer: a burger is $5.25, fries are $1.50
b = burger, f = fries
3b + 3f = 20.25
5b + 8f = 38.25
First, solve for b in terms of f
3b = 20.25 - 3f
b = 6.75 -f
Then substitute that for b in the other equation to solve and get a numerical value for f.
5(6.75 -f) + 8f = 38.25
33.75 -5f +8f = 38.25
33.75 + 3f = 38.25
3f = 4.5
f = 1.5
Now substitute that in to get a numerical value for b
b = 6.75 - 1.5
b = 5.25
Checking the math:
3b + 3f = 20.25
3(5.25) + 3(1.5) = 15.75 + 4.5 = 20.25
