A slope of any line parallel to y = x + 2 will be 1.
The slope of parallel lines are always equal. Since we do not see a number next to the x in the original equation, there is an assumed 1 there. Therefore any line that is parallel with it would also have to be 1.
If you would like to know which of the following steps should be performed to eliminate variable d first, you can find this using the following steps:
equation a: 2c = d - 8 /*(-3)
equation b: c = 3d + 8
__________________
-6c = -3d + 24
c = 3d + 8
__________________
-6c + c = -3d + 24 + 3d + 8
-5c = 32
5c = -32
c = -32/5
<span>The correct result would </span>be: <span>multiply equation a by −3.</span>
A4 means the 4th number so it would be 17.
