Answer:

x= −2/7

i loveeeee mathhhhh have a great day :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5(x−2)=−2(x+6)

(5)(x)+(5)(−2)=(−2)(x)+(−2)(6)(Distribute)

5x+−10=−2x+−12

5x−10=−2x−12

Step 2: Add 2x to both sides.

5x−10+2x=−2x−12+2x

7x−10=−12

Step 3: Add 10 to both sides.

7x−10+10=−12+10

7x=−2

Step 4: Divide both sides by 7.

7x/7=−2/7

x=−2/7

Dominik [7]

y = 0.6x - 3.2  
The general form of the desired equation is 
y = mx + b
 where
 m = slope of the line
 b = y intercept of the line 
 If two lines are parallel, their slopes will be the same, Since the slope of the
given line "y = 0.6x +3" is 0.6, that will also be the slope of the desired line.
So our equation becomes:
 y = 0.6x + b 
 Now we can substitute the x and y value of the desired point we want the new line to pass through and find b. So
 y = 0.6x + b
 -5 = 0.6(-3) + b
 -5 = -1.8 + b
 -3.2 = b 
 So the desired equation is now 
y = 0.6x - 3.2
