Both answers are not the same. You are correct and your friend is wrong. The situation your teacher gave could have only one other interpretation that would be acceptable and that would be 8t+3 because it is the same number just in a different order.
slope = - 
calculate the slope m using the gradient formula
m= (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 3, 6)
m = 
= 
= -

If two triangles are similar then the
corresponding sides are in proportion. Thus,
AB / AU = BC / UV = AC / AV
AB / (20x+108) = 703 / 444
Where AB is equivalent to:
AB = AU + UB
AB = 20x + 108 + 273
AB = 20x + 381
Therefore going back to the first equation:
(20x + 381) / (20x + 108)
= 703/444
444 (20x + 381) = 703 (20x + 108)
8880x + 169164 = 14060x + 75924
14060x - 8880x = 169164 – 75924
5180 x = 93240
x = 93240 / 5180
