Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

for two lines to be parallel they MUST have the same slope but have different Y intercepts ( Y axis crossing values)

parallel lines will never intersect each other

first I use a graphing calcuator to solve the problem

I like to use y intercept form better, but you don't have use it

I will try to solve it directly without going through the y intercept equation

x + 5y = 10    in y intercept form y = mx + b is

5y = -x + 10     divide both sides by 5

y = -x/5 + 10/5    

y = -x/5 + 2

Now I need to find a parallel line that passes through the x =1 and y = 3 point recall this line will have the same slope =     m = -1/5

and a different Y axis crossing point 'b' that we don't know

y = -x/5 + b      y = 3 when x = 1 so slove for 'b'

3 = -1/5 + b

3 = -0.2 + b    add -0.2 to both sides

3.2 = b

y = -x/5 + 3.2     this is answer in y intercept form

                          if you multiply both sides by 5

5y = -x + 16        add x to both sides

x + 5y = 16         answer in standard form

THE EASIER WAY TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM IS ......

x + 5y = 10      find a line parallel that passes through x  = 1,  y = 3  

x + 5y = Z       Z is an unknown value  plug in x and y and solve for Z

1 + 5(3) = Z

Z = 16              so the parallel line in standard form is

x + 5y = 16    

same as before,  my y intercept method was correct, but not  worth the effort

Write an algebraic expression that represents each purchase.

Answer: Both answers will be

15x+18

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Cost of soccer balls = $15

Cost of baseball = $6

Cost of sweat socks = $5

a) Mr. Tonkery bought x number of soccer balls and 3 base balls .

So, our algebraic expression will be

15x+3\times 6\\\\=15x+18

b) Dennis, Eddie and Felix are on a base ball team. They each bought a baseball and x pair of sweat socks .

Since there are 3 members in a base ball team ,

Number of base ball they will purchase is given by

3\times 6=18

Number of sweat socks they will bought is given by

5\times x\times 3=15x

Total number they will purchase is given by

15x+18

Hence, both answers will be

15x+18

This is an isosceles triangle because the 2 base angles are equal and therefore the 2 sides MN and ML are equal also.
So 3x = x + 10
2x = 10
x = 5

Length of MN =  5 + 10  = 15 Answer
