Y = 2x +13
We know the slope to be 2 because lines that are parallel have the same slope. Then we can solve using slope-intercept form and the known point.
y = mx + b ----> Input known values
7 = (2)(-3) + b ---> Multiple
7 = -6 + b ----> Subtract 3 from both sides
13 = b
Now we can use the y-intercept found and the slope to write the equation above.
I think the answer might be x=4/8
Answer:
Her statement is not correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is not correct because if you simplify 10/4 it comes out to 5/2 therefore 5/2=5/2.
Beth and May run the same amount.
Answer:
3 Pages
Step-by-step explanation:
- Let the pages of economics read = e
- Let the pages of psychology read = p
- Let the total time taken on each instance=t
In the first instance, the student has time to read 50 pages of psychology and 10 pages of economics.
The student could read 30 pages of psychology and 70 pages of economics.
Since the two situations take the same amount of time, we have:
50p+10e=30p+70e
Collect like terms
50p-30p=70e-10e
20p=60e
Divide both sides by 20
p=3e
Therefore, in the time it will take the student to read 1 page of psychology, the student can read 3 pages of economics.
