Whatever option has a slope of 3/4 and isn't y = 3/4x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
This means that it has to have a slope of 3/4 (written as 3/4x + b). This is because parallel lines have the same slope; rearranging the first equation gets us y = 3/4x + 2. So, our slope for a parallel line has to be 3/4.
3 years ago<span>Let x = a certain number of cookies
5x = 3x + 20
5x - 3x = 20
2x = 20
x = 20/2
x = 10
John: 5x = 5(10) = 50
Jerry: 3x + 20 = 3(10) + 20 = 30 + 20 = 50
They both have 50 cookies a piece</span>
