Step-by-step explanation:
Divide two on both sides to get rid of it and the make the equation in the form y = mx + c

y = 3/2x + 5
since both lines are parallel they must have the same gradient which is 3/2
y = 3/2x + c
All you have to do now is to replace x and y with (2, -5) to find c
x = 2
y = -5
-5 = 3/2 × 2 + c
-5 = 3 + c
c = -5-3
c = -8

Answer:
Assuming the question is: 3 + 1 16 [I see no "working below."
Step-by-step explanation:
3 + 1 16
48/16 + (16/16 + 1/16) [Make all numbers into fractions using 16 as the denominator. E.g. 48/16 = 3.
Add: 48/16 + (16/16 + 1/16)
(48+16+1)/16
=63/16
[Also equal to 3 15/16]
Answer:
16/3 or 5.33
Step-by-step explanation:
Cross multiply
4/1 * 3/4
4 * 4 = 16
3 * 1 = 3
