The architect's side view drawing of a saltbox-style house shows a post that supports the roof ridge. The support post is 12 ft tall. The distance from the front of the house to the support post is less than the distance from the post to the back of the house. How far from the front of the house is the support post positioned?

x+y=90

x=30-y=x

step-by-step explanation:

if you understand you will get the answer

step-by-step explanation:

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. : )
