A 30-mile segment of road needs to be paved. 6 miles have already been completed. The paving crew can complete 3 miles of paving per day. How many days will it take them to finish?

8 days

Step-by-step explanation:

6 miles has been paved already.

Number of miles left = 30 - 6

= 24 miles

If they are paving at 3 miles a day, the days they will take to finish is:

= 24/3

= 8 days

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )
