Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that DE is parallel to AC then DE divides the sides proportionally, so

$\frac{BD}{DA}$ = $\frac{BE}{EC}$ , substitute values

$\frac{x+2}{x}$ = $\frac{3}{2}$ ( cross- multiply )

3x = 2(x + 2) ← distribute

3x = 2x + 4 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

x = 4

LiRa [457]

$y = - \frac{28}{48x - 15} - \frac{125}{321}$ is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this question,

• First, find the slope of the line parallel to the line 5/8x−7/6y=2 :-

$m = - \frac{28}{ - 15 + 48x}$

•Second, find the equation of the line,

$y = - \frac{28}{48x - 15} - \frac{125}{321}$
