Each month, Judy and Jill's Cupcake Shop pays $1850 in monthly expenses. They need to make at least as much as they spend each month.

a=24; b=12

step-by-step explanation:

a/b=2: 1

a=2b

36/(1+2)=12

b=12

a=24

b: y = 2x + 2

step-by-step explanation:

y = 2x + 1

we want a line that is parallel, so it will have the same slope

the line is in the form y= mx+b, so the slope is 2

we have a slope and the y intercept (0,2)

since x is 0 we know the y point which is the y intercept

we can use y= mx+b to write the equation of the line

m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = 2x +2
