3(2x + 9) = 4 + 3x - 1

6x + 27 = 3 + 3x

6x - 3x = 3 - 27

3x = -24

x = -8

Answer:

x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

3(2x+9) = 4+3x-1

Distribute

6x+27 = 4+3x-1

Combine like terms

6x+27 = 3+3x

Subtract 3x from each side

6x+27-3x = 3+3x-3x

3x+27 = 3

Subtract 27 from each side

3x+27-27 = 3-27

3x = -24

Divide by 3

3x/3 = -24/3

x = -8

Write an equation of a line parallel to y = -2x + 3 that passes through (-2,-1)

ElenaW [278]

$\boxed{y=-2x-5}$

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The slope-intercept form of the equation of a line:

$y=mx+b \\ \\ \\ Where: \\ \\ m:Slope \\ \\ b:y-intercept$

The given line has the following characteristics:

$y=-2x+3 \\ \\ \\ So: \\ \\ m=-3 \\ \\ b=3$

So the line we are looking for needs to be:

$y=-2x+b \\ \\ \\ It \ passes \ through \ (-2,-1): \\ \\ -1=-2(-2)+b \\ \\ b=-1-4 \\ \\ b=-5$

So, the equation of the line would be:

$\boxed{y=-2x+3}$
