2x+15 = 3x-25
2x-3x = -25 -15
-x = -40
x = 40
The answer is (1,0), I believe.
keeping in mind that parallel lines have exactly the same slope, let's check for the slope of the equation above

so we're really looking for the equation of a line with a slope of -2 and that passes through (1 , -1)

The two fractions that added together give you a sum of -7/24 are 1/24+-8/24= -7/24
