1 answer:

6 0

We are given that:
one person would eat 3/8 of a pizza.

To know the number of people that would eat 12 pizzas, all you have to do is cross multiplication as follows:
1 person .............> 3/8 pizza
?? person ............> 12 pizzas
Number of people = (12*1) / (3/8) = 32 people

How can 1/5x − 2 = 1/3x + 8 be set up as a system of equations? a . 5y − 5x = −10. 3y − 3x = 24 b. 5y − 5x = −10. 3y + 3x = 24 c

VMariaS [17]

The answer is d. 5y − x = −10. 3y − x = 24

$\frac{1}{5}x-2= \frac{1}{3}x+8=y$
⇒    $y= \frac{1}{5}x-2$
   $y= \frac{1}{3}x+8$
________________________
$y= \frac{x}{5} -2= \frac{x}{5} - \frac{10}{5} = \frac{x-10}{5}$
$y= \frac{x}{3} +8= \frac{x}{3} + \frac{24}{3} = \frac{x+24}{3}$
________________________
$y= \frac{x-10}{5}$ ⇒    $5y=x-10$
$y= \frac{x+24}{3}$   ⇒    $3y=x+24$
________________________
$5y-x=-10$
$3y-x=24$

Archy [21]

Answer:

#7: MK, LS and PR

#8: PN and PQ

#9: no

#10: no

Step-by-step explanation:

#7: lines MK, LS and PR are not intersecting each other, so these lines are parallel each other

#8: between lines PN and PQ is an right angle, so the lines PN and PQ are perpendicular

#9: lines PN and KM have an intesecting point, so they're not parallel

#10: there is no right angle between lines PR and NP
