2 answers:

We need to find a common denominator(bottom number of fraction)

5/3 = 25/15 (multiply both top and bottom by 5)
1/5 = 3/15 (multiply both top and bottom by 3)

Now since the denominator is the same we can add to get 25/15 + 3/15 = 28/15

U cannot add or subtract fractions unless they have the same denominator

5/3 + 1/5....common denominator of 3 and 5 is 15...so convert ur fractions so they have a denominator of 15

25/15 + 3/15 = 28/15....add the numerators...the denominator stays 15

Traveling : total

Write an equation of the line that passes me that passes through (2,-5) and is parrallel to the line 2y=3x+10

Otrada [13]

Step-by-step explanation:

parallel means same slope/gradient

2y = 3x + 10

y = 1.5x + 5

let equation be y = 1.5x + b

sub (2, -5)

-5 = 1.5(2) + b

b = -8

therefore y = 1.5x - 8
