Solve for x.

2(4x− 9) = 5(x − 4)

2(4x− 9) = 5(x − 4)

=>8x- 18= 5x-20

=>8x-5x= -20+18

=>3x = -2

=>x= -2/3

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )
