Sumalee won 40 super bouncy balls playing horseshoes at her school's game night later she gave two to each of her friends she only has 8 remaining. how many friends dose she have?

Hey there!!

The total number : 40

Amount given to each friend : 2

Let's take the number of friends as ' x '

Remaining : 8

Equation :

40 - 2x = 8

- 2x = -32

x = 16

Hence, the number of friends = 16

Hope my answer helps!

the equation of the parallel line would be y = 2x + 9

step-by-step explanation:

to start we need to find the slope of the original line. we can do that by looking at the coefficient of x, which is 2

since the slope of the original line is 2 and parallel lines have the same slope, we know the new line will also have 2 slope. now we can use that along with the point given in point-slope form to get the find equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = 2(x + 2)

y - 5 = 2x + 4

y = 2x + 9
