Paralelll ines have same slope
in form
ax+by=c
slope=-a/b

point slope form
the equtaiotn of a line that passes through the point (x1,y1) and has a slope of m is
y-y1=m(x-x1)
so
find slope

24x+8y=7
slope=-24/8=-3

a point is (-5,-8)

m=-3


y-(-8)=-3(x-(-5))
y+8=-3(x+5)
y+8=-3x-15
y=-3x-23

What is the solution of the equation? 4(y + 2) =32
ehidna [41]
Hey there!
For the left side, we are going to use the distributive property, which means:
a(b+c) = ab+ac
Therefore, we have:

4y + 8 = 32

Subtract 8 from both sides.

4y = 24

Divide both sides by 4 to get:

y = 6

I hope this helped you! :)

-------------------------   =    ----------

9000 watt-hours           x days

Then do criss-cross-apple-sauce:

x*2400=9000*1

And then solve for x:

2400x=9000

x=9000/2400

x=3.75
