Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the equation of the line

y = mx + b

Use the slope given 3 and the x of 4 and the y of 11 from the point given (4,11)

11 = 3(4) +b Solve for y

11 = 12 + b Subtract 12 from both sides

-1 = b

y = 3x -1 This is the equation of the line. Substitute in 17 for y and solve for x

17 = 3x -1 Add 1 to both sides

18 = 3x Divide both sides by 3

6 = x

First take the fractions and find their common denominator:
$\frac{1}{2}$ x 4 = $\frac{4}{8}$

Now you can add the fractions:
$\frac{4}{8} + \frac{1}{8} = \frac{5}{8}$

Now add your whole numbers and the fraction:
1+1= 2 >> 2+ $\frac{5}{8}$ = 2 $\frac{5}{8}$ yards

Now subract 2 $\frac{5}{8}$ from 5:
5-2 $\frac{5}{8}$ =2 $\frac{3}{8}$ yards
