8x - 3/x
x = 1/2
(8 • 1/2) - 3/0.5
4 - 1.5
2.5
Step 1
<u>Find the slope of the given line</u>
we have

Isolate the variable y
Subtract
both sides


Divide by
both sides

the slope of the given line is

Step 2
Find the equation of the line that passes through the point
and is parallel to the given line
we know that
if two lines are parallel, then their slopes are equal
The equation of the line into point-slope form is equal to

we have

substitute in the equation


or 
therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
or

A worker can assemble 3 shelf units each hr. During the 5th hr...so the shift has been going on for 5 hrs...at 3 units per hr = (3 * 5) = 15 units assembled during the shift....and if there was 115 units in the warehouse, then that means before the shift, there were (115 - 15) = 100 units assembled <=
A quick and easy way to do this particular question is to think all of these numbers are close to 1/2 except 2/31. So, the lowest is 2/31.
