Lets simplify these equations into slop-intercept form (y=mx+b)

When we do that, the equations turn to

y=-6x/24+10/6 or y=-1/4*x+5/3
y=-2x/8+7/8 or y=-1/4*x+7/8

When you do this, you see that the slope (m) is the same. This means that they are parallel lines. That means these lines will never meet, which means there will be no solution

Answer:

when u distribute a number you are basically giving the number off and multiplying other factors by that number

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x+4) ( distribute the 3 ) so u would multiply the 3 by both factors ( the x and the 4) getting 3x+12

consider the line 4x+9y=-8find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to this line and passes through the point (-2, -2)

levacccp [35]

$\begin{gathered} \text{The equation of the line is,} \\ 4x+9y=-8 \\ 9y=-4x-8 \\ y=-\frac{4}{9}x-\frac{8}{9} \\ \text{The slope is}\Rightarrow m=-\frac{4}{9} \\ perpendicular\text{ slope}\Rightarrow m^{\prime}=\frac{9}{4} \\ 1. \\ x_1=-2,y_1=-2 \\ So,\text{ the perpendicular equation of line is} \\ y-y_1=m^{\prime}(x-x_1) \\ y+2=\frac{9}{4}(x+2) \\ 4y+8=9x+18 \\ 4y=9x+10 \\ y=\frac{9}{4}x+\frac{5}{2}(\text{Ans)} \\ 2. \\ The\text{ parallel equation is,} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\ y+2=-\frac{4}{9}(x+2) \\ 9y+18=-4x-8 \\ 9y=-4x-26 \\ y=-\frac{4}{9}x-\frac{26}{9}(\text{Ans)} \end{gathered}$

polet [3.4K]

We know that
Olive has a total of 8 pints of ice cream
If she splits each pint into 1/2 pint servings----------> 8/(1/2)-----> 8*2=16

the answer is 16 servings of ice cream

Sarah was locked out of her apartment and the only way out is through a window three stories high 20 feet above the ground. She needed to borrow from one of her friends. There is a tree along the side of the house so she will need to put the ladder 15 feet from her apartment. How long does the ladder need to be to reach the apartment window?
