G= 40
5x8=40
40/8=5
All you have to do is inverse operations so instead of dividing you multiply your 5 and 8 to get 40 and then check your work.
The correct answer according to me is 3=12
Hey there,
You could solve it in one of three ways: graphing, substitution method, and elimination method.
:)
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide two on both sides to get rid of it and the make the equation in the form y = mx + c

y = 3/2x + 5
since both lines are parallel they must have the same gradient which is 3/2
y = 3/2x + c
All you have to do now is to replace x and y with (2, -5) to find c
x = 2
y = -5
-5 = 3/2 × 2 + c
-5 = 3 + c
c = -5-3
c = -8
