So, for the first variable, you would use x, and for the second, y. Then, you would write out 2-(3y)=14. once this is done, youd simplify to 2-3y=14. Subtract 2 from both sides to get 3y=12. Then, divide both sides by 3. this will leave you with y=4. From this you can see the other number is ten. Hope this helped! and i apologize if it is incorrect!

What line has slope of 5/8 and goes through the point (2,-3)
sweet-ann [11.9K]
Slope of a line passing through a point is given by: y - y1 = m(x - x1); where (x1, y1) = (2, -3) and m = 5/8.
Therefore equation of the line is y - (-3) = 5/8(x - 2)
8(y + 3) = 5x - 10
8y + 24 = 5x - 10
8y - 5x = -10 - 24 = -34
5x - 8y = 34
