Answer:
x=-8
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract 2 from both sides
Simplify
Multiply all terms by the same value to eliminate fraction denominators
Cancel multiplied terms that are in the denominator
Subtract 2x from both sides
Simplify
First find the slope of the given line like this:

If two lines are parallel, then they have the same slope, so the equation we are looking for is in the form:

and we have to find b using the given point like this:
Substitute x = -2 and y=4 in the above equation like this and solve for a:
The equation of the line is then the following:
The answer to t is t= 21/2
