Parallel lines have the same slope. So if a line has a slope of 2, a line parallel to it also has a slope of 2.
<span>"Simplifying
0.2y = 0.5x + 0.1
Reorder the terms:
0.2y = 0.1 + 0.5x
Solving
0.2y = 0.1 + 0.5x
Solving for variable 'y'.
Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.
Divide each side by '0.2'.
y = 0.5 + 2.5x
Simplifying
y = 0.5 + 2.5x"</span>
I like the substitution method. Which is when you make one equation equal only x or y and plug it into the other equation)
There is also the graphing method. If you graphed it, it might not be quite as accurate (at least on hand, on computer you would be pretty exact)
Then there is the elimination method. You multiply one of the equations by a coefficient so that you can eliminate x or y from the equation.
Answer: 18
Step-by-step explanation:
2 degrees per hour
9 hours
1hour = 2 degrees
2hours= 4 degrees
3hr= 6 degrees
4hr= 8 degrees
5hr=10 degrees
6hr= 12 degrees
7hr= 14 degrees
8hr= 16 degrees
9hr= 18 degrees
So you are basically doing 2x9 to get your answer
