For the first one it’s b and I’m sorry but I’m not sure about the second
If you were to make both x's equivalent, you'd have to multiply the first equation by 2 to get rid of the coefficient, 1/2. However, you'd have to multiply 2 onto -8 as well, therefore the equation would turn into x - 16 = 18. That is not equivalent to x - 8 = 18.

Answer:
y +6 = (-1/3)(x +6)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given a point and a slope, it is appropriate to use the point-slope form to represent the equation:
y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)
For your point and slope, the equation is ...
y -(-6) = -1/3(x -(-6))
y +6 = -1/3(x +6)
__
Of course, this can be rearranged to whatever form you need.
y = -1/3x -8 . . . . slope-intercept form
x +3y = -24 . . . . standard form
M<GJI=(x+60)°=?
We need to find x. The angle GJI and FJH are opposite by the the vertex, then they must be congruents:
(x+60)°=(5x)°
x+60=5x
Solving for x
x+60-x=5x-x
60=4x
60/4=4x/4
15=x
x=15
Replacing x by 15 in m<GJI:
m<GJI=(x+60)°=(15+60)°→m<GJI=75°
Answer: Option b. 75
