What you should do first is simplify the equation into the y = mx + b format. Move 2x to the other side. Know that in doing this, 2x must become the opposite of what it currently is (-2) in order for the equation to remain true. We also have to take away the '10' because the line is parallel, not exactly the same, which means a different y intercept. This looks like:

Next, simplify y to make things easier. This can be done by dividing both sides by 5, like so:

What you should also know is that if a line is parallel to another, then this means the slope has to be the same because they both have the same changes in rise and run. With this in mind, simply plug in the x and y values.



Add 2 to both sides to isolate b.

Which means that -2 = b.
Now that we have the y intercept, we can write the equation of the line, which is
.

64. Susan tipped at the rate of 75 dollars to 5 waiters.
Question: She can afford to pay up to 90 dollars, How many waiters can she tipped if that is the case.
Let’s solve first and identify how much will she be giving to each waitress with 75 dollars is to 5 waiters rate:
=> 75 dollars / 5 waiters = 15 dollars each waiter
Now, she have 90 dollars
=> 90 – 75 = 15
Thus
=> 90 / 15 = 6 waiters she will be tipping.
