Answer:

It will take him 200 minutes to read 90 pages.

Step-by-step explanation:

Josh can read 18 pages in 40 minutes.

Ratio of pages to minutes = 18 : 40

Number of pages to read = 90

Minutes = x

Ratio of pages to minutes = 90 : x

The relationship is proportional

18 : 40 :: 90 : x

Product of extremes = Product of means

18x = 40*90

18x = 3600

Dividing both sides by 18

$\frac{18x}{18}=\frac{3600}{18}$

x = 200

Therefore,

It will take him 200 minutes to read 90 pages.

Answer:

$(7,\frac{13}{3})$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

The equation of the first line

$y=\frac{1}{3}x+2$ ------> equation A

The equation of the second line

$y=\frac{4}{3}x-5$ ------> equation B

Solve the system of equations by elimination

Multiply equation A by -4 both sides

$(-4)y=(-4)(\frac{1}{3}x+2)$

$-4y=-\frac{4}{3}x-8$ --------> equation C

Adds equation B and equation C

$y=\frac{4}{3}x-5\\-4y=-\frac{4}{3}x-8\\--------\\y-4y=-5-8\\-3y=-13\\y=\frac{13}{3}$

Find the value of x

substitute the value of y

$\frac{13}{3}=\frac{1}{3}x+2$

$\frac{1}{3}x=\frac{13}{3}-2$

Multiply by 3 both sides

$x=13-6$

$x=7$

therefore

The solution to the system of equations is the point $(7,\frac{13}{3})$

What is the slope of a line PARALLEL to the graph?

SSSSS [86.1K]

If you mean parallel to another line, you have to find the the equation of that line. Lets just say it was y= 7x-2. To find the slope of a line parallel to that, then you look at the slope of that line, which in this case would be 7. The slope of a line parallel would have to be the same. So, I can't give you a direct answer because I can't see the graph but that is how you get the answer.
