The difference is 6 because it is what we get when we subtract 8 and 2.
Final answer: 6
5x + 2 1/4 = 19 1/8
5x + 9/4 = 153/8
5x = 153/8 - 9/4
5x = 153/8 - 18/8
5x = 135/8
x = 135/8 * 1/5
x = 135/40 = 3 3/8 inches <==
Answer:
y = 3x - 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel lines have the same slope.
The slope of the given line, y = 3x - 2 is 3.
The equation we are looking for is of the form
y = mx + b
Since we know the slope, m, is 3, we have
y = 3x + b
To find the value of b, we substitute x and y with the values from the given point and solve for b.
-2 = 3(5) + b
b = -17
The equation is
y = 3x - 17
