Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Group the xs and the ys, 17+5= 22x 3+1=4y so y=4 and x=22.
You would need two different lines to complete this as lines cannot be both parallel and perpendicular (these are opposites). The answers would be:
Parallel: x = 2
Perpendicular: y = -2
In order to find these, we first need to see that the original line of x = -1 is a horizontal line. Therefore, any line that is parallel should be horizontal as well. To get a horizontal line through the point (2, -2), the only option is x = 2.
Similarly, with the perpendicular line, if the original line is horizontal, the new line must be vertical. The only vertical line that goes through (2, -2) is y = -2.
<span>Let x=one number and x+12= the other number. Together the numbers=54. Set up the equation: x+x+12=54; Combine the variables; 2x+12=54; Subtract 12 from both sides of the equation; 2x=42; Divide both sides of the equation by 2; x=21 is one number and 21+12=33 is the other number. Check: 2(21) +12=54; 42+12=54; 54=54.</span>
