-8 = 5x- x + 12 - 8 how to get x

X=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Combine like terms:

-8=4x+4

Move over the four:

-12=4x

Divide -12 by 4 to get x by itself:

-3=x

y=2/9x-1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

since line h is parallel to line g, this means that line h has the same slope as line g.

line h's slope would be 2/9.

to find the y-intercept, plug (-3, -1) into the equation y=2/9x+b. -3 will represent x and -1 will represent y:

y=2/9x+b

-1=2/9(-3)+b

Then, solve for b:

-1=2/9(-3)+b

-1=-6/9+b

b=-1/3

so, the equation for line g is: y=2/9x-1/3
