@563blackghost

563blackghost:

Incorrect. The lines are actually parallel to each other. Remember that like terms stay with each other, if you were to follow by converting it to slope intercept form when you move `8a` to the other side the total would be left alone, this means the total becomes the y-intercept.

@563blackghost

563blackghost:

Incorrect. If you plug the two lines you will find that they both contain the same type of slope and y-intercept. For parallel lines there is never a solution because they never meet, in this case they meet at every point, so they are not parallel.

hm, not quite the slope of the original line is 1/2 right? to find the slope of a perpendicular line, swap the numerator and the denominator, then multiply the slope by -1 to get the new slope

@Mercury welcome back

Mercury:

close but not quite it says if Jamal sells 4 boxes he makes $65 dollars which means you need to find the function that has the slope of 5 and gives you 65 when you plug in x = 4

princeevee:

A

Mercury:

good, A = your sol'n

Mercury:

hm, not quite you flipped the fraction correctly but "opposite" also implies you need to multiply by -1

Mercury:

3/4 flip the fraction 4/3 multiply by -1 -4/3 = your sol'n

Mercury:

hm not quite the original slope is -3 what's the opposite reciprocal of -3? recall the operations done in the other problem

princeevee:

+3?

Mercury:

remember that you can re-write a whole # as a fraction -3 = -3/1 flip the numerator and denominator then multiply by -1

princeevee:

0.3

Mercury:

let's leave it in fractional form because all the answer choices are fractions so you get a slope of 1/3 which can only be the last option

Mercury:

hm, not quite the line x = -3 is a vertical line, right? so the perpendicular line must be horizontal what would be the equation of a horizontal line that goes through (0,-4)? remember that a horizontal line has slope 0

princeevee:

C?

Mercury:

good, C is correct

Mercury:

hm, I don't think that's true a solution to a system of equations is a finite point inequality would imply there is a whole range of x/y values that could satisfy the equations

Mercury:

you can determine what the # of marbles and jacks are if you set up a system of equations let's break it down step by step

Mercury:

let m = price of marbles let j = price of jacks "William buys 10 marbles and 12 jacks for $1.60" if we set up an equation that tells us how much he bought, we would set up something like number of marbles*(price of marbles) + number of jacks*(price of jacks) = total amount he paid can you try plugging in the information from the problem into this statement to get a mathematical equation?

princeevee:

uh, i might need a bit of help

Mercury:

number of marbles*(price of marbles) + number of jacks*(price of jacks) = total amount he paid we know he bought 10 marbles and 12 jacks, right? can you try plugging in 10 and 12 where they belong in the equation?

Mercury:

"10 marbles" so number of marbles = 10 "12 jacks" so number of jacks = 12 copy this equation number of marbles*(price of marbles) + number of jacks*(price of jacks) = total amount he paid but plug in 10 and 12 where the belong

Mercury:

*where they belong

princeevee:

so just 10 + 12 =1.60?

Mercury:

notice how the equation includes the prices, we can't just erase those so our equation is now 10*(price of marbles) + 12*(price of jacks) = 1.60 now, let's review what we said at the beginning: price of marbles = m price of jacks = j substitute these into the equation where they belong

princeevee:

C.

princeevee:

each marble is 10 cents, 10x10=100, or 1.00

princeevee:

and each jack is 5 cents, 5x12 is 60

Mercury:

I mean that's one way to find the solution I guess

princeevee:

Mercury:

careful if we set the two angles equal to each other 3x + 8 = 3x + 10 this is impossible to be true (subtracting 3x from both sides gives us 8 = 10 which is false) so lines m and n are not parallel for any y (D)

Mercury:

hm not quite try drawing a perpendicular line from point P to the dashed line (the highway) and calculating the distance of that new line

princeevee:

my only other option i think is A, but i might be doing this wrong

Mercury:

|dw:1529987807510:dw|

Mercury:

|dw:1529987820126:dw|

Mercury:

notice how you have a right triangle here with legs 4 each so hypotenuse = sqrt(4^2 + 4^2) = sqrt(32) = 4sqrt(2) so option A is indeed correct

"linear equations" a system of equations where they're all linear (lines) using the same variables the original statement is true

Mercury:

not quite, remember it's looking for the sentence that is false sentence 1 is true (definition of inconsistent)

Mercury:

any other ideas?

princeevee:

C?

Mercury:

|dw:1529988756094:dw| C is true let's look at statement B again "consistent independent is shown by two parallel lines" this is false, consistent independent = two non-parallel lines so statement B is the correct solution

Mercury:

hm, not quite (that would be transitive) can you see which statement is best described by this rule? |dw:1529989814793:dw|

princeevee:

either a or d i think

Mercury:

notice how only A makes a statement with an equals sign rather than an inequality a = b + c y = 3x + 10 so A is the better choice

princeevee:

Mercury:

good

Mercury:

A doesn't work (14 + 14 is less than 31)

Mercury:

have you tried the other choices yet? how about B?

princeevee:

B was my second choice, actually

Mercury:

good, B is correct

princeevee:

1 attachment
Mercury:

good

princeevee:

1 attachment
Mercury:

B is a valid triangle (1/4 + 1/3 > 1/2, etc.) try checking the other choices

princeevee:

c?

Mercury:

look at choice A again notice how 5 + 1.5 is less than 7 that means A is not a valid triangle and thus the correct solution.

princeevee:

Mercury:

remember this rule: the smallest angle is across the shortest side the largest angle is across from the largest side

Mercury:

try to apply this logic to find the longest side and the shortest side

princeevee:

oh, i've read it wrong, A

Mercury:

VT is the shortest side since it is across the smallest angle therefore it's B not A.

princeevee:

1 attachment
Mercury:

sum of two sides has to be ~greater~ than the remaining side therefore the values 8 and 20 are not included so A is the better choice

is there anything else to go with this question?

princeevee:

not really..

Mercury:

alright, then comparison is the best choice

princeevee:

1 attachment
Mercury:

hm not quite what mathematical operation did they do to get from y to y + 4?

princeevee:

addition?

Mercury:

good so its addition property of inequality

Mercury:

alright i'm going to bed it's like 2:30 in the morning

princeevee:

oh, alrighty then.
