The difference is 180 is the correct answer for the problems
Answer:
A line parallel has the same slope, so -3
I believe it would be 4
This is because when divided by 3, 3x+12y=3 turns into x+4y=3
QUESTION 1
We want to solve,

We factor the denominator of the fraction on the right hand side to get,

This implies


We multiply through by LCM of


We expand to get,

We group like terms and equate everything to zero,

We split the middle term,

We factor to get,





But

is not in the domain of the given equation.
It is an extraneous solution.

is the only solution.
QUESTION 2

We add x to both sides,

We square both sides,

We expand to get,

This implies,

We solve this quadratic equation by factorization,





But

is an extraneous solution
I don't know how to answer the first part but i'll solve it.
5(3+7)-5
5(10)-5
5x10-5
50-5
