Answer:
C. They are the same line.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to compare the linear equations given, they need to be in the same form. The best form in order to evaluate slope and y-intercept is slope-intercept form, y = mx + b. Since the second equation is already in slope-intercept form, we need to use inverse operations to convert the first equation:
6x - 2y = 16 ---- 6x - 2y - 6x = 16 - 6x ---- -2y = -6x + 16
-2y/-2 = -6x/-2 + 16/-2
y = 3x - 8
Since both equations are in the form y = 3x - 8, then they are both the same line.
3 feet 8 inches converted to inches is 3x12+8=44inches
44inches times 4 pieces is 176 inches.
176 inches converted back to feet and inches is 176/12=14 feet 8 inches so he would need 15 feet of board
