Answer:

k = -3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The lines will be parallel if their slopes are equal.  To find the slope of each line, write its equation in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b).  In other words, solve each equation for y and look at the coefficient of x.

2x + 3y = 4k

3y = -2x + 4k

y = (-2/3)x + 4k/3

The slope of the first line is -2/3.

x - 2ky = 7

-2ky = -x + 7

y = [1/(2k)]x - 7/(2k)

The slope of the second line is 1/(2k).

If the slopes are equal, then

1/(2k) = -2/3

Multiply by 2k.

1 = (-2/3)(2k) = (-4/3)k

1 = (-4/3)k

k = -3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in the values for x and y.

8(1/3) - 3(3/4)

Evaluate.

8/3 - 9/4

32/12 - 27/12

= 5/12

blagie [28]

Answer: $86.25

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we are given p, r, t.

p=70 (starting amount)

r=0.11 (11%)

t=2 (years)

We can plug this into the equation B=p(1+r)^t

B=70(1+0.11)^2

B=86.247

Sam would have $86.25

Answer:

x=67.4

Step-by-step explanation:

well sin30:1/2

So y is not 30 since 5/13 doesn’t equal 1/2

So it’s either the the third or fourth option

And x>y

So option 4 is correct
