Hey there! I’m happy to help!

Let’s first subtract 4 from 20 to see how much was lost.

20-4=16

Now, we see that 16 is a certain percent of twenty that we want to find. When talking about percents, the word “is” represents an equal sign. So, we can write this equation. We will have p represent our prevent.

16=20p (16 is a certain percent of 20)

Now, we solve by dividing both sides of the equation by 20 to isolate the p.

p=0.8

0.8 is 80% or 4/5, so 4/5 of the dam water has been lost.

Have a wonderful day! :D

Artemon [7]

Try this solution (analytic method):

1. if new line is parallel to the given one (y=3x+2) it means the new line has a form y=3x+b, where b - number.

2. In order to calculate 'b', it need to substitute the coordinates of point (6;1) into the equation of the new line:

1=3*6+b, ⇒ b=-17.

3. If to make up the equation of the new line:

y=3x-17
