Answer:
X=8
Step-by-step explanation:
17x-4=12+15x
add 4 on both sides to get
17x=16+15x
now subtract 15x on both sides to get
2x=16
divide by 2 on both sides
you get
x=8

Answer:
4x - y = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a new line which is parallel to old line 4x - y = 14 looks exactly the same as that of the old line EXCEPT that we replace the constant, 14, with C and find C for the line that passes through (-2, -3).
4x - y = 14 becomes 4x - y = C
Now substitutte -2 for x, -3 for y and calculate C:
4(-2) - (-3) = C, or
-8 + 3 = C = - 5
Thus, the new equation is 4x - y = -5
