Can someone please please help me? with a reasoning? :(

a) 3x + y = -5 & b) y = 1/3 ( 21- 9x )

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

3x + y = -5

y = -3x -5

b)

y = 1/3 ( 21 - 9x)

y = -3x + 7

y = 3x + 2.5

the slop is to be same in the parallel lines. slop means m in ( y = mx + c )

so a) & b) are parallel lines. since their m is -3 .

answer:   28.56 feet (approx)

step-by-step explanation:

since, triangle abc has measure of angle c equal to 55 degrees, measure of angle abc equal to 90 degrees, and length of bc equal to 20 feet.

we have to find out the measurement of segment ab.

therefore, tan 55° =

but bc = 20 feet.

⇒ tan 55 ° =  

⇒ ab = 20 × tan 55 °

⇒ ab = 20 × 1.42814800674

⇒ ab = 28.5629601348   ≈ 28.56 feet
