Answer:
x = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Because PQ is parallel to JL, 
Substituting, we have 
5(x-6) = 3x
5x - 30 = 3x
2x = 30
x = 15
Answer:
No solution
Step-by-step explanation:
5+2x=2x+6
1st- Subtract 5 from each side
2x=2x+6-5
2nd- Subtract 2x from each side
0x=+6-5
Simplify
0=1
Since the x terms had to be eradicated, there is no solution.
The first thing to do is to distribute 8
-2y + 8y + 48 = 6
Combine like terms
6y + 48 = 6
Subtract 48 from both sides
6y = -42
Divide by 6 on both sides
y = -7
So y = -7
