Answer:
Mary has 12 friends, and a total of 13 people including her. Or, she has 25 friends, and a total of 26 people including her.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we know that 26 is divisible by 1, 2, 13, and 26 because (2x13) and (1x26) both equal 26 but we know that Mary has more than 1 friend and if Mary is also added to the group where the candy is divided, that means that 1 and 2 are both out because Mary has more than 1 friend so 1 cannot be the answer and if Mary has 2 friends, that means that the candy would have to be divided 3 ways which is not possible evenly so the answer is either 12 friends or 25 friends.

Find slope: parallel lines have same slope
−x+3y=6
+x +x
----------------
3y=x+6
3/3y=x/3+6/3
y=1/3x+2
Slope=1/3
Use slope and point (3, 5) to find b, y- intercept
y=mx+b
(5)=(1/3)(3)+b
5=1+b
5-1=1-1+b
4=b
Now we put it all together using m=1/3 and b=4
y=1/3x+4
