In the equation of a straight line (when the equation is written as "y = mx + b"), the slope is the number "m" that is multiplied on the x, and "b" is the y-intercept (that is, the point where the line crosses the vertical y-axis)
5.
the equation looks like:
((2x+1)+4)/((x)+4)= 5/3
then you do cross multiplication and get:
6x+3+12=5x+20
subtract 5x on each side. subrtract the 3 and 12 from the 20.
and you get your answer 5=x
