Answer:

x=-11

Step-by-step explanation:

the (x+14) line is half of the (17+x) line, so in order to solve this we would have to set it up like this:

2(x+14)=17+x

distribute

2x+28=17+x

x=-11

Write an equation of a line parallel to y=1/2x+3 that passes through (2,5)

tamaranim1 [39]

$y=\frac{1}{2}x+3 \parallel y=mx+b$

Two lines are parallel when their slopes are the same.
$m=\frac{1}{2} \\ y=\frac{1}{2}x+b \\ \\ (2,5) \\ x=2 \\ y=5 \\ \Downarrow \\
5=\frac{1}{2} \times 2 + b \\ 5=1+b \\ b=4 \\ \\ \boxed{y=\frac{1}{2}x+4}
