Answer:
first one is not. parallel second one is not and the third one is
To find this, turn the word question into an equation.
"One less than" means - 1, which is 1 being subtracted from something.
"half a number" means 1/2x, since 1/2 is half and x is unknown.
"is 12" means = 12, which is something equals 12.
Putting this in order would be 1/2x, then - 1, then = 12.
As an equation, this is 1/2x - 1 = 12.
So the equation is 1/2x - 1 = 12
Now you must find the number by solving this equation.
1/2x - 1 = 12
First, add 1 to both sides.
12 + 1 = 13
1/2x = 13
Now multiply both sides by 2.
This way, x will be isolated since 1/2x • 2 = 1x, and 1x = x.
13 • 2 = 26
x = 26
The number is 26.

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define Systems</u>
16x + 14y = 8
-63x - 14y = 133
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
<em>Elimination</em>
- Combine 2 equations: -47x = 141
- Divide -47 on both sides: x = -3
<u>Step 3: Solve for </u><em><u>y</u></em>
- Define original equation: 16x + 14y = 8
- Substitute in <em>x</em>: 16(-3) + 14y = 8
- Evaluate multiplication: -48 + 14y = 8
- Add 48 on both sides: 14y = 56
- Divide 14 on both sides: y = 4
<u>Step 4: Graph Systems</u>

Remark
I'm not sure I know what you mean, but I will answer trying to interpret it so it fits the description of the question.
Step One: Set up the equation. The normal way of solving this would be to use the Cos function.
Cos(theta) = Adjacent / hypotenuse = x/8 Multiply both sides by 8
8*cos(theta) = x Theta = 35
8*cos(35) = x This is about as simple a way as is possible.
6.553 = the height of the sale.
Step Three: try using the reciprocal
1 / cos(35)= hypotenuse / adjacent
1/0.8191 = 8/x cross multiply
x = 0.8191 * 8
x = 6.553
