Answer:
Parallel
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel lines have the same slope but different y-intercepts. If you multiply the top equation by 2, you get:
2(12x + 4y = 16)
24x + 8y = 32
This shows that both lines have the same slope, but then you find the y-intercepts, they are different:
1st equation y-int = 4
2nd equation y-int = 9/2 or 4.5
The solution to x + 8.5 = 64.5 is 56.
x + 8.5 = 64.5
- 8.5 - 8.5
---------------------------
x = 56
A) every 50 students is 1 representative, so:
r = (a+b+c+d+e)/50
b) (1587 + 985 + 2052 + 824 + 752)/50 = 6200/50 = 124 representatives.
Our answer makes sense since for every representative, there are 50 students. And 50*124 = 6200 total students.
<span>To subtract 3 3/8 from 5 1/2,
by turning into fractions
</span><span>[(5x2)+1]/2 = 11/2
</span><span>[(3x8)+3]/8 = 27/8
</span><span> 11/2 - 27/8
</span>To subtract fractions, your denominator needs to have the same number. so multiply it by 4
44/8 - 27/8 = (44-27)/8 = 17/8.
17 / 8 pounds or 2 and 1/8 because 17 / 8 = 2 remainder 1.
<span>In terms of weight that is 2.125 pounds.</span>
