The answer is
Step-by-step explanation:
If two equations are parallel it means that both their gradients are equal. We were given the equation:
in order to find the gradient of this equation that we are given we have to ensure that it is in its simplest form:
Therefore the gradient of the parallel line with points (-2, 4) is also -5/2
The weights of their backpacks would be discrete

<u>Solve </u><u>for </u><u>x </u><u>:</u>
x = 6 ✅
3x - 2 = 16
<em>></em><em>></em><em> </em><em>Add </em><em>2</em><em> </em><em>to </em><em>both </em><em>sides </em><em>:</em>
3x - 2 + 2 = 16 + 2
3x = 18
<em>></em><em>></em><em> </em><em>Divide </em><em>e</em><em>ach </em><em>side </em><em>by </em><em>3</em><em> </em><em>:</em>
3x / 3 = 18 / 3
x = 6
▪️Let's verify :
3(6) - 2 ⇔18 - 2 ⇔ 16
Therefore, your answer is x = 6
