Here is the solution of the given problem above.
Firstly, to make the solution easier, let us convert the mixed fractions.
2 3/4 is 11/4 (Pounds of beef needed)
1 1/6 is 7/6 (Pounds of beef available)
So, to get how much more he needs, we will deduct 7/6 from 11/4 and we get 19/12. And this fraction is equivalent to option A. 1 7/12. Therefore, he needs 1 7/12 pounds more. hope this answer helps.
Our line equation is

where the slope m=1/2 and the y-intercept b is b=7.
Parallel lines has the same slope. Hence, their slope is always

in this case.
Answer:
b = -³¹⁄₃
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve this Algebra equation by separating the variable and constants.
3b + 15 = -26 - 20
3b + 15 = -46
3b = -31
b = -³¹⁄₃
