You can set up an equation based off of the information given:
x represents the unknown number
3/5x - 1 = 23
add 1 to both sides to isolate the 3/5x
3/5x = 24
divide both sides by 3/5 to solve for x
x = 120/3
120/3 can be simplified into 40
Final answer: x = 40
Y = -5x + 28
will be parallel to your equation because it has the same coefficient but will also pass through (3, 13)

<u>Answer:</u>
Total paid = $717.3
Finance charge = $167.3
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
The cost price of mountain bike = $550
The down payment on bike = 75% of $550 = 0.75 * 550 = $412.5
We know that he will make 12 payments of $25.40 each so total monthly payments = 12 * 25.40 = $304.8
The total amount paid = Down payment + Total monthly payments = $412.5 + $304.8 = $717.3
The finance charge = Total amount paid - Cost price = $717.3 - $550 = $167.3
The absolute value of a number is the opposite so -7 = 7
23- 7 = 16 * 2= 32+ 7= 39.
Hope this helped!
