A number plus its fifth add up to 17 What is the number

14.1666666667

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write the equation as:

x + x/5 = 17

=> 5/5x + 1/5x = 17

=> 6/5x = 17

=> 6x = 17 * 5

=> 6x = 85

=> x = 85/6

=> x = 14.1666666667

Let's check whether our answer is correct

=> 14.1666666667 + 14.1666666667 / 5 = 17

=> 14.1666666667 +  2.83333333333 = 17

=> 17 = 17

So, the answer is 14.1666666667

step-by-step explanation:

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. : )
