Answer:
y = 4x + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
To do this, put the new line into the form y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
When two lines are parallel, they have the same slope. Since, the slope of the first line is 4, that means the slope of the second line is also 4.
So far, the equation is y = 4x + b.
Then, since you know (-2, -5) is a solution, x = -2, y = -5 is a solution so you can plug this into the equation.
This would be:
-5 = 4 * -2 + b
-5 = -8 + b
3 = b
This means the equation is y = 4x + 3.
Yes you did the equation on this page correctly.
6 songs
The way to find this answer is to divide 18 by 3, which is six, which means that after every six songs a commercial is played.
Hope this was helpful and that I explained it correctly.
Step-by-step explanation:
Can you please reword your problem
Let us formulate the independent equation that represents the problem. We let x be the cost for adult tickets and y be the cost for children tickets. All of the sales should equal to $20. Since each adult costs $4 and each child costs $2, the equation should be
4x + 2y = 20
There are two unknown but only one independent equation. We cannot solve an exact solution for this. One way to solve this is to state all the possibilities. Let's start by assigning values of x. The least value of x possible is 0. This is when no adults but only children bought the tickets.
When x=0,
4(0) + 2y = 20
y = 10
When x=1,
4(1) + 2y = 20
y = 8
When x=2,
4(2) + 2y = 20
y = 6
When x=3,
4(3) + 2y= 20
y = 4
When x = 4,
4(4) + 2y = 20
y = 2
When x = 5,
4(5) + 2y = 20
y = 0
When x = 6,
4(6) + 2y = 20
y = -2
A negative value for y is impossible. Therefore, the list of possible combination ends at x =5. To summarize, the combinations of adults and children tickets sold is tabulated below:
Number of adult tickets Number of children tickets
0 10
1 8
2 6
3 4
4 2
5 0
