35 is 5% of the number 175.
The correct answer is: [A]: " <span>x(y – 5) = 2 " .

Consider:

Choice: [A]: " x(y–5) = 2 " ;
Divide each side by "x" ;
" [x(y – 5)] / x = 2/x " ;
→ y – 5 = 2/x ;
Add "5" to each side of the equation:
y – 5 + 5 = 2/x + 5 ;
→ y = 2/x + 5 ; not a line; since one cannot divide by "zero" ; there would be no "point" on the graph at "x = 0". So, this answer choice: [A] is correct.

Choice [B]:
y -2x -18 = 0
y - 2x = 18
y = 18 + 2x ; y = 2x + 18 ; is a line.

Choice C) 3y + 12 - 6x = 5 ;
3y = 5 - 12 + 6x ;
3y = -7 + 6x ; 3y = 6x - 7 ; y = 6x/3 - 7/3 ; y = 2x - 7/3 ; is a line.

Choice: [D]:
2(y+x) = 0 ;
[2*(y+x)] / 2 = 0/2 ; y + x = 0 ; y = -x ; is a line.

The first step in solving this problem is taking 2 and 3 and multiplying them (2 * 3 = 6) .
Now, for the second step, we will cube it. Since there are 2 numbers, we are going to use the 2nd root (2sqrt(6)) This will give us: 4.89897948557 or 5 if you would round it. This would be the Geometric Mean.
