Answer:
x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 4 = 5x - 8
==> add 8 to both sides
in doing so we get 3x + 4 + 8 = 5x - 8 + 8
the -8 and the +8 cancels out and 4 + 8 = 12
we are left with 3x + 12 = 5x
==> subtract 3x from both sides
in doing so we get 3x - 3x + 12 = 5x - 3x
the 3x and -3x cancel out and 5x - 3x = 2x
we are left with 12 = 2x
==> divide both sides by 2
in doing so we get 12/2 which equals 6 and 2x/2x which leaves us with
6 = x
Parallel to y = 3/4x - 9 and passes through (-8, -18)
Identify the slope : our slope is 3/4
Remember that parallel equations have the same slope, so both slopes are 3/4
Now, we have to find the y-intercept. Simply plug everything into the slope intercept form equation.
y = mx + b
(-18) = (3/4)(-8) + b
Simplify.
-18 = -6 + b
Add 6 to both sides.
-18 + 6 = b
Therefore, our y-intercept is -12.
Now plug everything into the slope intercept form.
y = mx + b
y = 3/4x - 12
~Hope I helped!~
We have been given the expression
We can rewrite the expression as 
In order to simplify the given expression, we can check if we have any common terms in the numerator and denominator.
We can write the term 72 which is in the numerator as 
Thus, the expression becomes
We can see that 4 is common in both numerator and denominator. Hence, we can cancel 4. Thus, we are left with
Therefore, we can rewrite the given expression as 54.
All I can find on this is that it would be 10/16 but thats not an awnser. hmmm
