Gold is often used with other metals, such as copper and zinc, to make jewelry. Approximately 58% of the mass of a certain 40 gram necklace is gold. The density of gold is 19.3 grams per cubic centimeter. What is the volume of gold, to the nearest tenth of a cubic centimeter, in the necklace?

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )

you ignore the remainder, therefore the answer is y = x+2

step-by-step explanation:

you have to divide the denominator by the numerator. you can use synthetic division or long division.

[-5] .     1 .     7 .     11

x + 2 + 1/x+5
