Answer:
x= 3
Step-by-step explanation:
19x-5=7+15x
19x-15x=7+5
4x=12
x=12/4
x=3
Hi there!
For a line to be PARALLEL, it must contain the same slope.
The given line has a slope of 4, so we can use the point-slope formula to solve:

y1 = y-coordinate of given point
x1 = x-coordinate of given point
m = slope
Plug in the values:

Simplify:

If we add the equations it looks like
-5y + 8x + 5y + 2x = -18+58
so 10x=40
so x=40/10=4
now let's replace x by 4 in the second equation
5y +2*4=58
5y=58-2*4=58-8=50
so y=50/5=10
so (x, y) = (2, 10)
