Step-by-step explanation:
note that
=
× 3 ( when multiplying exponents are added )
Given
← factor out
on numerator
= 
= 
= 1
Silver for x
-3 - (-8) - (-2) = x
Switch the equation to make x on the right
x = -3 - (-8) - (-2)
x = 5 - (-2)
x = 7
• A negative minus a negative will always evaluate to a positive.
• A positive minus a negative will always evaluate to a positive.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Solve using the distance formula:

Input the corresponding numbers into the formula

Solve

y-2 = 3(x+7) put it in y=mx+b form (slope intercept)
y-2 = 3(x+7) distribute 3
y-2 = 3x+21 add 2 to both sides
+2 +2
y = 3x + 23
so now the slope of that is 3 so the new equation has a slope of 3 because parallel slopes are equal.
my new line has a slope of 3 and point (4,2)
so we use point slope formula y-y1 = m(x-x1)
y-2 =3(x-4) put it in y=mx+b form (slope intercept)
y-2 = 3(x-4) distribute 3
y-2 = 3x -12 add 2 to both sides
+2 +2
y = 3x + 10 which is you line slope intercept with parallel slope and contains (4,2)
