Answer:

y = - x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

here slope m = - 1 and y- intercept c = - 5, hence

y = - x - 5 ← equation of line

Corey needs 24 boards that are 47 1/2 inches long. B. If you can only buy 8-foot boards, how many should he buy? Explain.

dimulka [17.4K]

A. 95 feet

<span>B. 12, because that would get you 96 feet of board, and if you only got 11, then you would only have 88 feet of boards which is not enough.

Hope this helped!</span>

How do you solve this

love history [14]

Answer:

x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1}{6{x}^{2} } = \frac{1}{2x} + \frac{7}{6 {x}^{2} } \\ \frac{7}{6 {x}^{2} } - \frac{1}{6{x}^{2} } + \frac{1}{2 {x} } = 0 \: \: \: \: \: ( - \frac{1}{6 {x}^{2} } \: throughout) \\ \frac{6}{6 {x}^{2} } + \frac{1}{2x} = 0 \: \: \: \: \: (simplify)\\ \frac{1}{ {x}^{2} } + \frac{1}{2x} = 0 \\ \frac{2 {x}^{2} }{ {x}^{2} } + \frac{2 {x}^{2} }{2x} = 0 \: \: \: \: \: ( \times 2 {x}^{2} \: throughout) \\ 2 + x = 0 \: \: \: \: \: (simplify)\\ x = - 2$
