Luis is finding 5 because 9 minus 6 is 3. 3 plus 2 equal 5 easy
4x-2y=8 ==> y=2x-4 (to better show you what I mean)
2 lines are parallel if they have the same slope (m the coefficient of x).
So y=mx + b // y =2x-4 means m=2 & y=mx + b, becomes y=2x + b.
Moreover they are telling us that this function passes by (-2,1), where -2 represents x & 1, represents y. To calculate b , replace x & y by their values:
y=2x+b ==> 1 = 2(- 2) + b==> 1 = -4 + b ==> b= 5. Finally the equation is
y=-2x+5
(x-2) + (x-1) + x + (x+1) + (x-2) + (x+3) = 447
6x + 3 = 447
6x = 447 - 3
6x = 444
x = 444/6
x = 74
you can work it out or put in random numbers until the two sides are equal
