There were 296 kids started at the beginning of the year
To find the amount she makes per hour, divide the total amount she made by the number of hours she worked:
225 / 18 = 12.5
This means she made $12.50 per hour.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The two equations given represent two straight lines in 2-D graph.
The two lines will not intersect if they are parallel.
Hence the two equations will not have solution if the lines are parallel and not coincident.
The condition for 2 lines given by the equations :
ax+by+c=0
dx+ey+f=0 to be parallel but not coincident is:

here a=2 b=-3k c=-1 d=4 e=k+2 f=-5

But also:

Hence the value of k is -2/7.
I'm pretty sure the above fractions are equivalent because if you reduce 5s/15t then it equals s/3t.
