Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
y = -2x+5
slope of line is -2.
slope of parallel to line is also -2
point-slope equation for line of slope -2 that passes through (-5,3):
y-3 = -2(x+5)
so you have your two equations 3x+7=5x-23 and solve for x which is your "number" leaving the answer to be <u>x=15</u>
Answer:
B is your answer,
With the factors of ( 2 )( 1 ), the lay out of the equation makes only sense with answer B.
