Factor to this equation out, the easiest way is to solve for the two x values that add up to -1 but when multiplied is equal to -6. It should look like this: (x +- ?)(x +- ?).
The factored out form is then (x - 3)(x +2), because -3 + 2 = -1 and when multiplied together gives -6.
x - 3 = 0
x = 3
x + 2 = 0
x = -2
The two solutions are therefore, x = 3 and x = -2.

Answer:
y = 4x + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the equation y = 4x - 2, we need to find the equation parallel to this line. Note that for two equations to be parallel to each other, the must have the same slope
Standard form of an equation is y = mx + b
Compare;
mx = 4x
m = 4
Since the slope of the given equation is 4, the required equation must also have a slope of 4
Since we are not given an option, we can assume any equation with a slope of 4
y = 4x + 1 will be parallel to the given equation since they both have the same slope
<em>Note that the equation can be different so far they have the slope of 4</em>
In a proportional relationship, x and y will increase at the same rate. In order to find the value of x when y=4, we first have to find the ratio of x:y. We can do this by creating a fraction. After we know the ratio, simply replace the y value with 4 and solve for x. Here's the math:
y=15 when x=3 given values
y/x = 15/3 = 5 ratio of y to x
y=5x equation representing the proportional relationship
4=5x replace y with 4
4/5=x divide both sides by 5 to isolate x
Answer: The value of x=4/5 when y=4.
