So y=mx+b
b is the y-intercept or where they cross the y-axis so just set a y-intercept and change the slope
so if y-intercept is 7
y=3x+7
y=2x+7
y=8x+7
y=-1/4x+7
and so on
473 would be it because you can simplify it into fraction then you can do it by 1 so the answer is 473 or 374
I think it would be 2 because it looks like 6 is the total and 3 is a side number so if you were to multiply 3 times 2 it would be 6. I hope this is correct!
875 × .64= 560
answer: 560 employees eat lunch at the cafeteria on Wednesday.
OK. I did it, and I have the solution.
_____________________________________
The length of the deck is (5 + 2x) .
The width of the deck is (4 + 2x) .
If the deck didn't have that big hole in the middle where the pool is,
then its area would be
(5 + 2x) · (4 + 2x) .
When you multiply that all out, you get Area = 4x² + 18x + 20
and the question tells us that the area of the whole big rectangle is 90 yds² .
So we can write
4x² + 18x + 20 = 90 .
Subtract 90 from each side: 4x² + 18x - 70 = 0
Divide each side by 2 : 2x² + 9x - 35 = 0
You can use the quadratic equation to solve that and find out that
x = 2.5 yards, and that's what the question is asking you.

That makes the deck 10 yds high and 9 yds wide.
Total area of the whole big rectangle, (deck + pool ), = 90 yds².
