Answer:
a = Negative one-fifth
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation is :

We need to find the value of a.
Subtract 2/5 from both sides.

So, the correct answer is Negative one-fifth. Hence, the correct option is (b).
<span>Simplifying
6(x + 1) + 5 = 13 + -2 + 6x
Reorder the terms:
6(1 + x) + 5 = 13 + -2 + 6x
(1 * 6 + x * 6) + 5 = 13 + -2 + 6x
(6 + 6x) + 5 = 13 + -2 + 6x
Reorder the terms:
6 + 5 + 6x = 13 + -2 + 6x
Combine like terms: 6 + 5 = 11
11 + 6x = 13 + -2 + 6x
Combine like terms: 13 + -2 = 11
11 + 6x = 11 + 6x
Add '-11' to each side of the equation.
11 + -11 + 6x = 11 + -11 + 6x
Combine like terms: 11 + -11 = 0
0 + 6x = 11 + -11 + 6x
6x = 11 + -11 + 6x
Combine like terms: 11 + -11 = 0
6x = 0 + 6x
6x = 6x
Add '-6x' to each side of the equation.
6x + -6x = 6x + -6x
Combine like terms: 6x + -6x = 0
0 = 6x + -6x
Combine like terms: 6x + -6x = 0
0 = 0
Solving
0 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer <u>(assuming it can be put in point-slope format)</u>:

Step-by-step explanation:
You can write an equation of a line when knowing its slope and a line it passes through using point slope formula,
.
1) First, find the slope of the equation. We know it has to be parallel to y = 3x + 2. Lines that are parallel have the same slope, thus the slope of y = 3x + 2 is the slope of the answer as well. y = 3x + 2 is in slope-intercept format, or
. The coefficient of the x term, or
, represents the slope - so, the slope must be 3.
2) Now, use point-slope formula,
, to write the equation. Substitute
,
, and
for real values.
The
represents the slope, so substitute 3 for
. The
and
represent the x and y values of a point the line crosses through. The line crosses through (2, -4), so substitute 2 for
and -4 for
. This gives the following answer:

I believe it is 6x^2 + 3x ?????
