(x + a)/(ax) = b/x
a= 2
b = 5
(x + 2) /(2x) = 5/x
cross multiply
x * (x+2) = (2x)*5
x^2 + 2x = 10x
x^2 - 8x = 0
x ( x -8) = 0
We get two solutions
x = 0, 8
the solution 0 is extraneous
the solution 8 is valid.
I dont know if you know this, but there are 3 different 3's. So how can we figure out the question if we don't know which one is underlined?

Answer:
y = 3x + 18
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Calculate m using the slope formula
m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 9, - 9) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 6, 0)
m =
=
= 3, thus
y = 3x + c ← is the partial equation of the line
To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation
Using (- 6, 0), then
0 = - 18 + c ⇒ c = 0 + 18 = 18
y = 3x + 18 ← equation of line
