Solve for x
-18 = 9 - 3x

3x=9+18

=27

x =27÷3

x=9

the answer of x is 9

Rewrite the equation so that the x term is on the left:

9 - 3x = -18

Move the number to the right and change the sign:

-3x = -18 - 9

-3x = -27

Change the sign of both terms:

3x = 27

Move the 3 to the right and change the sign:

x = 27 ÷ 3

x = 9 is your answer.

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. : )

actually what is a question i don't understand
