Answer:
y=-11.88x-39.93
Step-by-step explanation:
Plot the data

on the coordinate plane using graphing calculator. Then use linear approximation y=ax+b and determine that a=-11.88, b=-39.93.
The line that best fits these data is

Answer:
3x+24 more widgets
Step-by-step explanation:
A company owns two manufacturing plants:
- 1st plant: 8x+17 widgets;
- 2nd plant: 5x-7 widgets.
To find how many more items the first plant produces daily than the second plant, we have to subtract from the number of widgets the first plant produces the second plant produces. So,
![(8x+17)-(5x-7)\\ \\=8x+17-5x+7\ [\text{Eliminate brackets}]\\ \\=(8x-5x)+(17+7)\ [\text{Combine the like terms}]\\ \\=3x+24](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%288x%2B17%29-%285x-7%29%5C%5C%20%5C%5C%3D8x%2B17-5x%2B7%5C%20%5B%5Ctext%7BEliminate%20brackets%7D%5D%5C%5C%20%5C%5C%3D%288x-5x%29%2B%2817%2B7%29%5C%20%5B%5Ctext%7BCombine%20the%20like%20terms%7D%5D%5C%5C%20%5C%5C%3D3x%2B24)
