17 + 3y = 7x
3y = 7x - 17
y = 7/3x - 17/3
= 7/3
The x-coord. of the vertex is halfway between the given zeros. Here, it'd be halfway between x=3 and x=9, which comes out to x = 6 (answer).
500/3 times, you set this up 1(representing the 5 on a die)/6(representing the amount of sides on a die) multiplied by 1000(the amount of time you want to toss the die)
I got u bud!
