Step-by-step explanation:
Divide two on both sides to get rid of it and the make the equation in the form y = mx + c
y = 3/2x + 5
since both lines are parallel they must have the same gradient which is 3/2
y = 3/2x + c
All you have to do now is to replace x and y with (2, -5) to find c
x = 2
y = -5
-5 = 3/2 × 2 + c
-5 = 3 + c
c = -5-3
c = -8
You add the numerators and keep it over the denominator. 4/16 plus 12/16 is 16/16 and when the same number is the denominator and numerator at the same time, its 1

$1.79 for bananas ($1.785 to be exact)
$5.36 for pineapples ($5.355 to be exact)
Same case as Pablo's, more or less.
a = price for the desktop
b = price for the laptop
we know the laptop is 150 bucks more than the desktop,
b = a + 150.
how much is 7% of a? (7/100) * a, 0.07a.
how much is 9.5% of b? (9.5/100) * b, 0.095b.
total interests for the financing add up to 303,
0.07a + 0.095b = 303.
how much was it for the laptop? well b = a + 150.
