Parallel = same slope
Find slope of 3x + 5y = 8
Turn into y = mx + b
5y = -3x + 8
Divide by 5
y = -3/5x + 8/5
Slope is -3/5
Y = -3/5x + b, find y intercept
Plug in the point
4 = -3/5(10) + b
4 = -6 + b, b = 10
Final equation: y = -3/5x + 10
5 years because when you divide 90 by 18 to get how many years it takes the tree to grow to 90 inches tall, you get 5.
D is correct because you could put in a value for x and get a true value for y
exg
x=3
y=14(3)-9
y=42-9
y=33
Answer:

Hopefully, this is your desired setup. (I noticed the formula you have to fill in there.)
Have a good day.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi.
You could use the percent change formula.
Since we know it is a percent increase then we will do new-old instead of old-new:

x is the new amount of shampoo.
16.5 is the original amount (old) of shampoo.
The percent increase is 30%=0.30 .
So we have the following equation:

We could have found the equation like this:

Subtract 16.5 on both sides:

Divide both sides by 16.5:

By us of symmetric property of equality:
