Putting the equations in slope-intercept form changes the system from

myrzilka [38]

$15x+9y=36 \rightarrow y=-\frac{5}{3}x+4 \\ \\ 10x + 6y = 36 \rightarrow y=-\frac{5}{3}x+6$

The lines are parallel.

The slopes are equal.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The standard form of the equation of a line is given by the form:

$Ax+By=C \\ \\ \\ Where: \\ \\ A \ is \ a \ positive \ integer \\ \\ B,C \ are \ integers$

On the other hand, the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line is given by the form:

$y=mx+b \\ \\ \\ m:Slope \\ \\ b:y-intercept$

So let's convert each equation from the standard form to the slope-intercept form:

So, for the first equation:

$15x+9y=36 \\ \\ Solving \ for \ y: \\ \\ 9y=-15x+36 \\ \\ y=\frac{-15x+36}{9} \\ \\ y=-\frac{5}{3}x+4$

So, for the second equation:

$10x + 6y = 36 \\ \\ Solving \ for \ y: \\ \\ 6y=-10x+36 \\ \\ y=\frac{-10x+36}{6} \\ \\ y=-\frac{5}{3}x+6$

As you can see both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts meaning that they are parallel. So these are the correct options:

The lines are parallel.

The slopes are equal.

Which statement is true?

ryzh [129]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+4x-19+3x-1=180

10x=180+19

x = 199/10 = 19 (round to 20)

x = 20

<A= 20

<B= 80-19= 61

<C=. 59

The longest side is across from the largest angle. Draw the triangle ABC.

AC is across <C (the largest angle)

Four cones of Dan's ice cream hold 5/8 pound. How much does each cone hold?

vichka [17]

5/8 divided by 4 cones= 5/32 so the answer is 5/32.
Hope this helps :)

We are asked in the problem to determine the value of x in the equation <span>4x² + 2x = 7 using completing the square method. in this case,

</span><span>4x² + 2x = 7
x2 + 0.5 = 1.75
(x + 0.25)^2 - 0.0625 = 1.75
</span>(x + 0.25)^2 = 1.8125
<span>x+0.25=1.3462
</span>x1 =1.0963
x2 =-1.5962
