Amotorcycle dealer paid a certain price for a motorcycle and marked it up by 1/5 of the price he paid. later, he sold it for $14,000. what was the original price?

Okay so $14,000 is the equivalent of 6/5ths
so divide $14,000 by 6= $2333.3r

you need 5/5
so $2333.3r x 5 = $11666.67
this is the original price

I’m going to infer you said parallel.solve for yy= -1/2x+7/4lines that are parallel have the same slope, different y intercept.so we know m is -1/2then from there solve for y intercept.
