Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the slope of the line that has the coordinates given in the problem you must use the formula shown below:

Given the points (-3, 6) (4,-2), when you substitute them into the eequation shown above, you obtain that the slope is the following:

Ok so
total capacity that all boats ordered can carry should be at least 132
total capacity that all boats ordered can carry =number of boats times number of people each boat can carry
people each boat can caryy=8 people
x=numbe of boats
132=x times 8
divide both sides by 8
132/8=x times 8/8
16.5=1x
16.5=x
you can't order 0.5 boats so round up to nearest whole
16.5 to 17
answer is 17 boats
<em><u>The equivalent expressions are:</u></em>



<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
<em><u>Given expression is:</u></em>

We have to find the equivalent expression
By distributive property,
a(b + c) = ab + ac
<em><u>Therefore, one of equivalent expression is:</u></em>

<em><u>The other equivalent expressions are:</u></em>

Thus equivalent expression is found
