- 7
- 8
- 9 ✓
- 10
Explicación
Distribute: 5x − 10 = 3x + 8. Subtract 3x: 2x − 10 = 8. Add 10: 2x = 18. Divide by 2: x = 9.
-

- 2
- 3 ✓
- 4
- 5
Explicación
Both sides have the same denominator, so 3x − 1 = x + 5. Subtract x: 2x − 1 = 5. Add 1: 2x = 6. Divide: x = 3.

- 1
- 2
- 3 ✓

- y = 3x + 2
- y = −3x + 2
- y = 3x − 2 ✓

- −1
- 0
- 1 ✓

- y = 3x − 2
- y = −3x + 1
- y = (1/3)x + 2
- y = −(1/3)x + 4 ✓
Explicación
Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals. The slope of y = 3x + 5 is 3, so the perpendicular slope is −1/3. Only y = −(1/3)x + 4 has this slope.
-
Line L passes through (1, 4) and is parallel to 3x + 2y = 6. What is the equation of L?

- y = −(2/3)x + 14/3
- y = −(3/2)x + 4
Explicación
3x + 2y = 6 → y = −(3/2)x + 3, so slope = −3/2. L: y − 4 = −(3/2)(x − 1) → y = −(3/2)x + 3/2 + 4 = −(3/2)x + 11/2.
