Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Parallel lines A and B
Required
Find x
For A and B to be parallel, then 5x + 9 and 6x - 2 are alternate interior angles
And alternate interior angles are always equal
This means that

Collect like terms


Multiply both sides by -1


The point-slope form:

The formula of a slope:

We have the points (-4, -1) and (5, 7). Substitute:

Answer:
y = 27/7
Step-by-step explanation:
Perform the indicated multiplication:
3(4y-7)=15y+6 becomes:
12y - 21 = 5y + 6
Combining like terms, we get:
7y = 27, so that y = 27/7
A = D/BC. In order to isolate A, all you do is divide by BC
