you have 59 coconuts and you only want 39, you can do 59-39 to see how many you need to get rid of. :)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
y = -5x - 17
in y = mx + b form, the y int is in the m position
y = mx + b
y = -5x - 17......so the y int (b) = -17 or (0,-17) <=== y intercept
u can also find the y intercept by subbing in 0 for x and solving for y
u can find the x intercept by subbing in 0 for y and solving for x
y = -5x - 17
0 = -5x - 17
5x = -17
x = -17/5......so the x intercept is -17/5 or (0,-17/5) <==== x intercept
The constant term in the equation is -20 because you will always be subtracting 20 no matter how big x is
For the answer to the question above, I believe the answer is simply <u><em>8.
</em></u>
2 groups divided into four participants. So all in all people needed is 8.
I hope this helped you. Have a nice day!

A possible scale for the drawing can be
1 inches : 3 feet.
2 inches : 6 feet
or 3 inches to 9 feet
or 0.5 inches to 1.5 feet.
Hope this helps :)
