Answer:
he will use 2 posts.
Step-by-step explanation:
the two posts together will make 1 foot, so with one post on each endof the 7 foot deck, that leaves 6 feet between them.
Answer:2
Step-by-step explanation:
2
Recall that the general equation for a line is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
First, let's find the slope by finding
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1):
(-8-0)/(-5-3)
-8/-8
1
Now we know the equation is y=1x+b, or y=x+b.
By plugging in one of the two points we know is on the line, we can solve for b.
0=3+b
b=-3
So the equation is:
y=x-3
Divide the numerator by the denominator, and then multiply by 100 :)
1) expand the brackets
6(-3 - x) - 2x = 14
-18 - 6x - 2x = 14
simplify
-18 - 8x = 14
then add 18 to both sides to get the x's on there own
-8x = 32
then divide by -8
x = 32/-8
x = -4
2) multiply everything by 7x
2 + (6 x 7x) + ( 17x × 7x) = 18 x 7x
2 + 42x + 119x^2 = 126x
put everything on one side
119x^2 - 84x + 2 = 0
then use quadratic equation to solve
x = 0.024671849 or 0.6812105039
