Answer:
x= -8 i believe
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
y = -1/4 -5
Step-by-step explanation:
Any equation will be parallel to your base equation as long as the y intercept is different. To write a parallel equation, you just have to change the y intercept.
For example, I changed it from 2 to negative 5.
4(x + 7) = 38
Since there is no operation sign between the 4 and parenthesis, it makes it an automatic multiplication problem.
You would use distributive property to multiply each which should leave your equation looking like this afterwards:
4x + 28 = 38
(4 times x and 4 times 7)
You would then solve it like a two step equation,
1. +28 - 28 = 0
2. 38 - 28 = 10
4x = 10
10 divided by 4 = 2.5
x = 2.5
We can recheck our work by substituting in the value of x.
4(2.5 + 7) = 38
10 + 28 = 38
When we substituted in the value, it gave us the correct inequality.
Therefore,
x = 2.5
