The two outer "strands" should be parallel and the rungs should be perpendicular to the strands.
Start by converting x - 3y = 6 into slope-intercept form:
x - 3y = 6
Subtract x from both sides:
-3y = -x + 6
Divide both sides by -3:
y = (1/3)x - 2
Now compare both equations:
y = (1/3)x - 2
y = 3x + 2
They don't share anything perpendicular or parallel equations would share, so therefore they are neither.
Hope this helps! :)
Answer: 20 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation: 15x = 300
Isolate the variable.
Divide both sides by 15: ¹⁵ˣ⁄₁₅ = ³⁰⁰⁄₁₅
x = 20
