Answer: x = 17/9
Step-by-step explanation: Lets solve for x.
9x - 5 = 12
9x - 5 + 5 = 12 + 5
9x = 17
9x/9 = 17/9
x = 17/9
Translation refers to a rigid motion or transformation where you move an object from one location to another.
Translations are base on the rule (x,y) -- (x+a, y+b) where the words right and left represent the change in the x-axis, and the words up and down the change in the y-axis.
In this exercise it is asked you to find the coordinates of the preimage of point T', which has the coordinates (-3,4) and is the effect of a translation of 3 units up. As previous said, the words up and down represent a change on the y-axis, meaning that the y-coordinate is the one that should be changed.
If the translation from the preimage to the image was 3 units up, then the preimage can be found by subtracting three units.
Pre-image: (-3,4-3)= (-3,1)
The point that represents the coordinates of the pre-image is (-3,1).
When the slopes of two lines are equal,they are parallel.

so the equation of the parallel line to this one is :

Answer: Yes you will still get a true statement because 3 is the solution to the equation.
Step-by-step explanation:
Well substitute 3 for x into the equation and solve for to see if they equal each other.
12 = 5(3) - 3
12 = 15 - 3
12 = 12
So if you substitute 3 you get the solution .
Now solve for x in the real equation to see if you get 3.
4x + 12 = 9x -3
-4x -4x
12 = 5x -3
+3 +3
15 = 5x
x = 3
