Let's give the variable that you are trying to answer for a symbol. Let's call it X.
X = the amount of money both Greg and Thomas had in October
We know that in November, Greg added $120 to his account. So, Greg's account has: X + 120
We know that Thomas increased the money in his account by 20%, so Thomas' account has: X + 0.2X, or 1.2X
We know that these two amounts are equal:
X + 120 = 1.2X
Solve for X:
X + 120 - X = 1.2X - X
120 = .2X
120 / .2 = .2X / .2
600 = X
40 because you would divide the miles by hours to find the rate of change.
120/3= 40
Answer:
1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
4x6=24
6x8=48
24/24=1
48/24=2
Therefore, it is 1/2
USE PEMDAS
8(7+23)=8(7)+8(23)
=56+184
=240
Slope-intercept form is:
y = mx + b
"m" is the slope, "b" is the y-intercept (the y value when x = 0)
(there is probably another way to do this, but I will be doing it this way)
Isolate the "y" in the equation
3x + 4y = 12 Subtract 3x on both sides
4y = 12 - 3x Divide 4 on both sides
or 
The slope is -3/4
For lines to be parallel, they have to have the SAME slope. The given line's slope is -3/4, so the slope of the parallel line is also
