Paralell lines have same slopes
y=mx+b
m=slope
given
y=-3x-8
slope is -3
so we just have to have y=-3x+b
3rd equation
Answer:
The solution is: x = -1, and y = 8/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Notice that the system of equations can be easily solved via the "elimination" method, by subtracting term by term one equation from the other. Doing such will remove completely the term in "y" (since the terms in "y" are exactly equal in both equations), and leave only an equation containing "x", for which the value can be solved:

Now we use this x-value in either equation to solve for y:

Answer:
760 attendees
Step-by-step explanation:
40% of the attendees is 304. That means you can add 304 to 304 (304 x 2) to get 608. To get the last 20%, divide 304 by 2, because 40(%) divided by 2 is 20(%). The answer to that is 152. Now, add it all up. 608 + 152 = 760.
In conclusion, there were 760 attendees at the carnival.
