The correct answer is option A. Erica is correct in saying that the two lines are not necessarily the same and we should also look at the y-intercepts before determining how many solutions there were. <span>Two lines with equal slopes could be the same line, but only if they have the same y-intercept.</span>
Answer:
18 and 20, 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Math reasoning 1:
Set the first number as x and the other one as x+2 because it is a consecutive even number.
x+x+2=38
2x=36
x=18
18+2=20
The 2 consecutive numbers are 18 and 20
Problem solving 1:
Write out equation first, set the unknown number as x
5+x=9
x=4
Answer=18
3x4=12
12x6=72
72x1/4=18
