Let x = your number.
(x - 17) * -7 = -35. Divide each side by -7.
(x - 17) = 5. Add 17 to each side.
x = 22.
Your number is 22
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
Choice A, 18x - 6y = 20
Discussion:
Given line
-9x + 3y = 12 (M)
Choice A:
18x - 6y = 20 => divide both sides by -2
-9x + 3y = -10 (N)
The left hand sides of (M) and (N) are equal implying that right hand sides are equal which further implies 12 = -10. Contradiction! so the system M and N has no solution.
Thank you,

Answer:
15 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Fernell's speed 
mph
Dabney's speed 
mph
Denote:
- distance covered by Fernell
- distance covered by Dabney
- Fernell's time
- Dabney's time
1. If Fernell drove for 3 hours longer than Dabney, then his time is 3 hours more than Dabney's time and
2. If Fernell covered 18 miles less than Dabney, then
Use formula 
Subtract from the first equation the second equation and equate it to 18:
plug a=2 and b=4 in the expression
5(2)+7(4)
simplify
10+28
solve
=38
