B + 24 + 7b + 4b = 180
12b + 24 = 180
12b = 156
b = 13
Their slopes must be the same, but with different y-intercepts.
Here is an example: 2x + 1 and 2x + 4 are parallel lines.
I THINK ITS B or A BUT I AM NOT SURE
In order to divide polynomials using synthetic division, you must be dividing by a linear expression and the leading coefficient (first number) must be a 1. For example, you can use synthetic division to divide by x + 3 or x – 6, but you cannot use synthetic division to divide by x2 + 2 or 3x2 – x + 7. If the leading coefficient is not a 1, then you must divide by the leading coefficient to turn the leading coefficient into a 1. For example, 3x – 1 would becomex minus 1/3 and 2x + 7 would becomex plus 7/2. If synthetic division will not work, then you must use long division.
Answer:
the answer will be 1 consistent
