Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Equation: 
Jalil says it is not possible to isolate x because x has a different unknown coefficient.
Victoria t. Victoria believes there is a solution
Solving the equation:




So, this shows x can be isolated .
Victoria was right .
It was not possible to isolate x if the coefficients of x would be same .
But in the given equation the coefficients of x are not same .
So, Victoria is right.

Answer: 4.5 pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Weight of original pipe =45 pounds
Weight of first piece = 18 pounds
Then, Weight of other piece = 45- 18 = 27 pounds
Length of first piece = 3 feet
Let x be the length of other piece.
As length is directly proportional to weight.
Then, 

Hence, the he length of the other piece = 4.5 pounds.
as you already know, the equation y=-7/4x-2, is already in slope-intercept form and thus its slope is the coefficient of the "x", namely -7/4.
parallel lines have the same exact slope, so a parallel line to this one will also have a slope of -7/4, and it passes through 4,2,
