If it’s only 1.4x + 3.5y then that’s the answer because you can’t do anything with them. Since one has an x variable and the other has a y variable you can’t combine them together.
X must be increased by 6 to get its value to be 0. Then the corresponding change in y will be (-2/3)*6 = -4. That value added to -5 makes it -9.
The y-intercept will be -9.
What number, when five is subtracted from it equals twelve

18 feet and 4.5 inches
<u>Explanation
</u>
You are going to use the concept of similar triangle.
∆CED≡∆CBA
This is because they share the angle at C and also they both have an angle of 90o.
Let EC = X, then BE = 2.5X. So, BE = (X + 2.5X) = 3.5X
The scale factor EC/BC=x/3.5x=2/7
EC/BC=ED/BA=2/7
BA=7/2×63 in
The height of the tree = 220.5 inches. This is equal 18 feet and 4.5 inches.
