Question 154668: I have two problems that I just go blank on when I see these types of equations. I dont know were to start or how to do them. In my textbook there isnt anything like them other than when y1=y2. There are no examples of the given conditions. The answers from the book are #1 is 8 and #2 is 5. I tried everything to come up with those answers, but it is eluding me on how to do the following rational equations. Please help. Thanks.
Find all values of x satisfying the given conditions.
y1= 10(2x-1),y2= 2x+1, and y1 is 14 more than 8 times y2.
y1= 1/x, y2= 1/2x, y3= 1/x-1, and the sum of 3 times y1 and 4 times y2 is the product of 4 and y2.

Question 155009: Write a slope intercept equation for the line parallel to 3x + 2y = 10 passing through the point (-1, -2).
This is how far I got using the formula: y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-(-2)=-3/2(x-(-1)
y+2 =-3/2(x+1)
y+2 =-3/2 + -3/2
y= -3/2 + (-3/2x2)
y= -3/2 + -3/4
Did I go wrong somewhere? Please help, it would be greatly appreciated.
