I'm thinking this is what the problem looks like: 
. The first thing to do is to move the 
over to the other side because it has a common denominator with the other side. Doing that and at the same time combining them over their common denominator looks like this: 
. The best way to solve for x now is to cross-multiply to get 3(4-x)=-4(x-4). Distributing through the parenthesis is 12 - 3x = -4x + 16. Solving for x gives us x = 4. Of course when we sub a 4 back in for x we get real problems, don't we? Dividing by zero breaks every rule in math that there ever was! So, yes, the solution is extraneous.
Answer:
3y = -2x -7
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of the line;
y = x + 8
Unknown:
Equation of the line passing through (4, -5);
Solution:
To solve this problem;
the equation of a line is given as;
y = mx + c
where x and y are the coordinate
m is the slope
c is the intercept
To solve this problem,
The slope if the same as that of the new line since they are parallel;
Equation of the new line;
x = 4 and y = -5
-5 = x 4 + c
-5 = + c
c = -5 +
c =
So, the equation of the line is;
y = x -
or ;
3y = -2x -7
