X=3; you can set up a proportion using the slope equation. So (y[sub2]-y[sub1])/(x[sub2]-x[sub1])=2/1 then plug in the values and simplify. Then cross multiply and solve for x. Rest of work shown in the picture

Answer:

x =  3

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have equal slopes.

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = A(- 7, - 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = B(- 3, x), then

m = \frac{x+5}{-3+7} ← equate to 2, that is

\frac{x+5}{4} = 2 ( multiply both sides by 4

x + 5 = 8 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

x = 3

It took emily 25 min to rideHer bicycle to the repair shop in one hour and 15 minutes to walk back home. If Emily her bicycle to
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:the repair shop is 5km from her house.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the distance of the repair shop from her house.

Let y represent Emily's speed when riding.

Distance = speed × time

It took Emily 25 min to ride her bike to the repair shop. Converting 25 min to hours, it becomes 25/60 = 5/12 hours.

Distance covered,

x = y × 5/12 = 5y/12

It took her 1h 15 min to walk back home. Converting to hours, it becomes 1 + 15/60 = 1 1/4 = 5/4

If she can ride her bike 8km/h faster than she can walk, it means that her speed while walking would be y 8 8

Therefore,

Distance covered,

x= 5/4(y - 8) = (5y - 40)/4

Since the distance remains the same, then

5y/12 =(5y - 40)/4

Crossmultiplying, it becomes

5y × 4 = 12(5y - 40)

20y = 60y - 480

60y - 20y = 480

40y = 480

y = 480/40 = 12

x = 5y/12 = 5 × 12/12 = 5 km
