Answer: Parallel lines have the same slope
y = 2x +b
Use the given point (2, 5)
5 = 2(2) +b
b = 5 -4 = 1
The equation of the line is
y = 2x +1
Note general form of the slope-intercept form of a line is y = mx +b, where m is the slope and b is the y-axis intercept

Answer:
31.205
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter is the sum of the side lengths:
8.73 +12.4 +10.075 = 31.205
_____
If you're after an answer that has the appropriate precision (assuming these are measured values), that would be one that is rounded to 1 decimal place: 31.2.
Answer:
2:25

Answer: 4/9</h3>
==============================================
Work Shown:
The idea is that when we subtract 10x and x, the infinite decimal pattern (the 4s that go on forever) will cancel. That leads to 9x = 4 which solves to x = 4/9
To solve this problem, we must set up a system of equations. In this case, let's let Maggie's age be represented by the variable m and her brother's age be represented by the variable b. We are told that the sum of their ages is 24, which gives us our first equation: m + b = 24. We can construct our next equation from the first sentence of given information: b = 2m - 3. This makes our system of equations:
m + b = 24
b = 2m - 3
To solve, we are going to substitute the value for b in terms of m given by the second equation into the first equation for the variable b.
m + b = 24
m + 2m - 3 = 24
To simplify, we must first combine the variable terms on the left side of the equation using addition.
3m - 3 = 24
Next, we should add 3 to both sides of the equation to get the variable term alone on the left side of the equation.
3m = 27
Finally, we should divide both sides by 3 in order to get the variable m alone.
m = 9
Therefore, Maggie is 9 years old (using the first equation and substituting in this value you can find that her brother is 15 years old).
Hope this helps!
