<span>5x+2 = 77
5x = 75
x = 15</span>
7ft = 84in 84 ÷ 15 = 5.6 pieces he can cut from each board. Since .6 is not a whole piece measuring 15 inches long, he can only cut 5 pieces from each board.
So, 5 x 2 = 10
He would be able to cut 10 pieces measuring 15 inches long.
Hope this helps :)

Answer:
The equation of the function: y = mx + b
- m = slope = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) = [5 - (-3)]/(4 - 0) = (5 + 3)/4 = 8/4 = 2
- b = y-intercept = -3
Therefore, the equation is <u>f(x) = 2x - 3</u>
When x = 0, f(x) = 2(0) - 3 = <u>-3</u>
When x increases by 1, f(x) increases by <u>2</u> (slope = the rate of change)
