I am not understanding this topic in math and I have a huge test tomorrow, I forgot about this assignment and I would really app
reciate it if someone could help me out with this!!! ❤️

Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
One way to tell is to put both equations into slope-intercept form. That form is usually written where <em>m</em> is the slope and <em>b</em> is the y-intercept.
Solve the first equation for y.
The slope of this line is -3, and its y-intercept is 5/2.
Solve the second equation for y.
The slope of this line is -3 and its y-intercept is 2.
The lines are parallel because they have the same slope and <u>different</u> y-intercepts. There is no solution to the system.
Answers:
x = 100
y = 25
==============================================================
Explanation:
Angle y and the 25 degree angle are corresponding angle. Because the lines are parallel, this means that y = 25
Check out the attached image. Using a red pen, I extended one of the lines to form a triangle. From the alternate interior angle theorem, we know that one of the angles of the triangle is 75 degrees (alternate interior angles are congruent). Again this stems from the fact that the lines are parallel.
I've also introduced the variable z to help find x. The angles x and z add up to 180 degrees since they form a straight line. So we need to find z before we can find x.
The triangle's angles 25, 75, z add up to 180. Let's solve for z
25+75+z = 180
100+z = 180
z = 180-100
z = 80
Use this to find x
x+z = 180
x+80 = 180
x = 180-80
x = 100
