It takes exactly 26 paper clips laid end to end to make 17 7/8 inches. How long is each paper clip? (I really need the explanation)

11/16 inch or 0.6875 inch

Step-by-step explanation:

26 * x = 17 7/8

17 7/8 = 143/8

143/8 ÷ 26 = 143/8 x 1/26 = 143/208 = 0.6875

0.6875 in = 11/16 in

If my answer is incorrect, pls correct me!

Check

11/16 x 26 = 17.875 or 17 7/8

3 is greater then both of those numbers

the equation of the parallel line would be y = 2x + 9

step-by-step explanation:

to start we need to find the slope of the original line. we can do that by looking at the coefficient of x, which is 2

since the slope of the original line is 2 and parallel lines have the same slope, we know the new line will also have 2 slope. now we can use that along with the point given in point-slope form to get the find equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = 2(x + 2)

y - 5 = 2x + 4

y = 2x + 9
