A/2-b/3=1 solve for a, add b/3 to both sides
a/2=1+b/3 which is equal to
a/2=(3+b)/3 multiply both sides by 2
a=(6+2b)/3 now you can substitute this into 2a+3b giving you:
2(6+2b)/3 + 3b which is equal to
(12+4b+9b)/3
(13b+12)/3
$32.072 ≈ $32.07
20% of $38 is equal to $7.60
$38 - $7.60 = $30.40
5.5% of $30.40 = 1.672
$30.40 + $1.672 = $32.072
The unit normal for the given plane is <5,2,-1>.
The equation of the plane parallel to the given plane passing through (5,5,4) is therefore
5(x-5)+2(y-5)-1(z-4)=0
simplify =>
5x+2y-z=25+10-4=31
Answer: the plane through (5,5,4) parallel to 5x+2y-z=-6 is 5x+2y-z=31
