Answer:
y = (2/3)x + 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel lines have the same slope. In the given equation, the slope is 2/3 so the slope of the parallel line will also be 2/3.
y = (2/3)x + ?
Plug in (-3, 6) for (x, y) in the equation.
6 = (2/3)(-3) + ?
6 = -2 + ?
? = 8
Final equation: y = (2/3)x + 8
Ron has 22 cards
number one tip in math, try to create equation!
set number of cards Ron has as x (always set x as what you are looking for)
set number of cards Tori has as (x-9) because if Ron has 9 more cards than Tori that's same thing as saying Tori has 9 cards less than Ron
Number of cards Tori and Ron has need to equal 35
Therefore,
x + (x-9) = 35
Solve:
2x-9=35
bring over 9 to other side
2x=44
divide both sides by 2
x=22
So number of cards Ron has is 22
