Through: (2 -4), parallel to y = 3x + 24

y = 3x - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming that you are supposed to write the equation of a line that is parallel to the one given, going through the point given.  I'm going with that.  This is a line in slope-intercept form:  y = mx + b.  

If 2 lines are parallel to one another, the m values are exactly the same.  So what we need to do is find the y-intercept value, b, since that is what is different in parallel lines.  We will use the m value of 3, the x value from our point of 2, and the y value from our point of -4 to solve for b:

-4 = 3(2) + b and

-4 = 6 + b so

b = -10.  Now we fit that back into the equation using the same m value as in the line it is parallel to:

y = 3x - 10

arrange the equations with like terms in columns.

analyze the coefficients of x or y.

add the equations and solve for the remaining variable.

substitute the value into either equation and solve.

check the solution.

step-by-step explanation:

the answer would be 1 1/72

step-by-step explanation:

you can rewrite the equation by separating the parts and then solving individually:

10-9=1

1/8 - 1/9=

find l c d and then combine:

1 1/72
