Answer:
7 × x = 315
x = 315 ÷ 7
x = <u>4</u><u>5</u>
<u>4</u><u>5</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>answer</u><u>.</u>
First isolate the "y" in the equation.
2y - x = -12 Add x on both sides
2y - x + x = -12 + x
2y = -12 + x Divide 2 on both sides to get "y" by itself


Your slope is
.
For the equation of the line to be parallel to the given equation, the slopes have to be the same. So the parallel line's slope is also 
y = mx + b

To find "b", you plug in the point (18,2) into the equation


2 = 9 + b Subtract 9 on both sides
2 - 9 = 9 - 9 + b
-7 = b
Your equation is:
