5/3x+5=1/3x-3 what does x represent

5/3x+5=1/3x-3

move 1/3x to the other side

sign changes from +1/3x to -1/3x

5/3x-1/3x+5=1/3x-1/3x-3

5/3x-1/3x+5=-3

move +5 to the other side

sign changes from +5 to -5

5/3x-1/3x+5-5=-3-5

5/3x-1/3x=-8

4/3x=-8

Multiply both sides by 3/4

4/3x(3/4)=-8(3/4)

Cross out -8 and 4, divide by 4 and then becomes -2*3=-6

x=-6

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of the parallel line would be y = 2x + 9

step-by-step explanation:

to start we need to find the slope of the original line. we can do that by looking at the coefficient of x, which is 2

since the slope of the original line is 2 and parallel lines have the same slope, we know the new line will also have 2 slope. now we can use that along with the point given in point-slope form to get the find equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = 2(x + 2)

y - 5 = 2x + 4

y = 2x + 9
