Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If a line is parallel to another it must have the same slope

The slope/intercept form of a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b the y intercept

The line y = 2x + 5 has slope 2

So the slope of the line that passes through (2,3) must also have the slope 2

We have
y = 2x + b; Substituting x =2, y =3 in this equation gives us
3 = 2 (2) + b or b = -1

Hence the equation of the line is
y = 2x -1

Cross-check

Substitute for x = 2 ==> y = 2(2) - 1 = 3 which is consistent

Answer:

x= 6

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x + 4) = 2x + 4x - 6

3x + 12 = 2x + 4x - 6

3x + 12 = 6x - 6

-3x = -18

x= 6

hope it helps

How do you solve this problem? (x+3) cubed
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
You would expand becausee it isn't equal to anything

(x+3)^3=(x+3)(x+3)(x+3)
we can use binomial theorem or pascal's triangle
anyway, pascal's triangle is more practicl for this one

so
for the 3rd power
(a+b)^3=1a^3+3a^2b^1+3a^1b^2+1b^3

a=x
b=3

(x+3)^3=1x^3+3x^2(3^1)+3x^1(3)^2+1(3)^3=
x^3+9x^2+27x+27
