This is what is in the middle of the second paragraph. That statement is correct.
I don't know that it is any simpler or not, but what they have done in the answer is rationalize the denominator. That means that the denominator is no longer under the square root sign.
To get that result, you multiply numerator and denominator by √F
When you do that, your get

This results in the middle answer.

Answer:
- y = -3/5x - 6 or 3x + 5y = -30
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given line:</u>
<u>Converting into slope-intercept form:</u>
- 3x + 5y = 15
- 5y = - 3x + 15
- y = -3/5x + 3
<u>Parallel lines have the same slope, so the parallel line will be:</u>
<u>Using given point (-5, -3) finding the y-intercept:</u>
- -3 = -3/5(-5) + b
- -3 = 3 + b
- b = -3 - 3
- b = -6
<u>So the line is:</u>
<u>Or converted into standard form:</u>
- y = - 3/5x - 6
- 3/5x + y = -6
- 3x + 5y = -30
Answer:
x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
7x+9=9x+5 [Corresponding angles]
9-5=9x-7x
4/2=x
x=2
