Justify each step of the solution by stating the property that was used to get to each step.
1 answer:
For this case we have the following expression:
Applying distributive property to the terms within parentheses we have:
We add similar terms on both sides of equality considering that:
Equal signs are added and the same sign is placed.
Different signs are subtracted and the major sign is placed.
We add 7.5x to both sides of equality:
We subtract 72 from both sides of equality:
We divide between 3 on both sides of equality
ANswer:
Distributive property
Add similar terms
Equality property of the sum
Equality subtraction property
Equality property of the division

Answer:
Given line with an equation of y = 4x + 3
Parallel lines contain equivalent slopes, so a parallel line to the given equation would contain a slope of m = 4.
Plug in the coordinates of the point given, along with the slope into the equation y = mx + b where:
m = slope
y = y-coordinate of point
x = x-coordinate of point
Solve for the 'b' value, or y-intercept:
y = mx + b
6 = 4(2) + b
6 = 8 + b
b = -2
Rewrite the equation as slope-intercept form:
y = 4x - 2
