Find the value of x for which a || b.
a
(7x + 2)
b
(8x – 14)

x = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that line a and b are parallel so they each have the same slope therefore, (7x + 2) = (8x - 14).

First we have so isolate a number value and x.

So we subtract 7x from 8x, which looks like:

2 = (x - 14)

Then we have to get that -14 to the other side, so we add and that looks like:

16 = x

Therefore, we have our answer, x = 16.

connie < felicia < stew

step-by-step explanation:

stew:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (2650-795)/(10-3)

    = 1855/7

connie:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

we have two points (0,0) and (4,800)

m = (800-0)/(4-0)

  m = 800/4

felicia:

260 words per minute

200< 260 < 265

connie < felicia < stew

you probably already have the answer but anyways it's b. 15.0
