5x+17+15=45
5x=45-17-15
5x=13
x=13/5
Convert all the equations to slope-intercept form:



Lines A, B and C have the same slope as the line 2y-4x=3, so they are parallel and don't intersect it.
Line D has another slope, so it intersects the line 2y-4x=3.
The answer is D.

So you start with anything in parenthesis
