Answer:

x = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Two parallel lines are lines that never intersect each other.

The y-axis can be written as x = 0.

Then if we want a parallel line to this one, it must be something like x = b

such that b ≠ 0.

Now we want that the distance between our line and the line x = 0 is 7 units to the left

(remember that the left is the negatie side of the axis)

then we can write:

b - 0 = -7

b = -7

The parallel line is x = -7

Given the following 2 equations, state whether these equations are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.

Answer:

Neither

Explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the equation of a line is generally given as;

$y=mx+b$

where m = the slope of the line

b = the y-intercept of the line

Two lines are said to be parallel if they have the same slope. Looking at the two given equations below, we see that the slope of the 1st one, 5/7, is different from the slope of the 2nd one, 7/5;

$\begin{gathered} y=\frac{5}{7}x+14 \\ y=\frac{7}{5}x-20 \end{gathered}$

Two lines are said to be perpendicular if their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other, let's go ahead and compare their slopes;

$\begin{gathered} m_1=\frac{5}{7} \\ m_2=\frac{7}{5} \\ \therefore m_2=\frac{1}{m_1_{}} \end{gathered}$

So the two lines are not perpendicular to each other. It, therefore, means that the correct answer will be Neither.

p = total # of pages

2/5p + 32 = 310 (She read 2/5 of the book, read an addition of 32 pages, and she read a total of 310 pages.) Subtract 32 on both sides

2/5p = 278 (multiply each side by 5/2 to get p by itself)

p = 695

Express a(2) (2a(-1/2)+a) in its simplest form

Soloha48 [4]

First lets simplify the first term and yield (2a)

The second term:
1. 2a * (-1/2) = -a
2. -a + a = 0

Now we have simplified both terms to: (2a) (0)

Anything multiplied by 0 is 0, so the answer is also 0.
