You can do 2 1/2 minus 1 1/8 to get 1 3/8. Your welcome and I hope you get a good grade
The nearest whole number would be 13 because it takes more to get to 14 and take less to go to 13 so you answer is 13
To find these two lets convert this into slope-intercept form:
-7x + 7y = -17
7y = 7x -17
y = x - 17/7
So, the slope is 1 and the y-intercept is -17/7
Hope this helps!
