Answer:
100
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
48
Step-by-step explanation:
(264 in)/(5.5 in/piece) = (264/5.5) pieces = 48 pieces
_____
Division is the usual shortcut for repeated subtraction. You could subtract 5.5 from 264 until you get to zero. You would have to do 48 subtractions. It is easier to divide 264 by 5.5 to see how many times it goes.
The lines are parallel.
In order to figure this out, let's start off by simplifying both equations as much as we can:
2y = 16 + 4x
Divide by 2
y = 2x + 8
Remember that the slope of that equation is '2' since 'm' in the equation y = mx + b represents slope.
Simplify the next equation:
6y - 30 = 12 x
6y = 12x + 30
Divide by 6:
y = 2x + 5
As you can tell, this line also has a slope of 2.
Parallel lines is defined as two lines that have the same slope. Knowing this, we can infer that these two lines are parallel.
