Ray uses 8 pieces of wood for each box he makes. Ray writes an equation to describe how many boxes, y, he can make with x pieces of wood. Which equation did Ray write?

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Number of pieces used to make a box = 8

x denotes total number of pieces of wood with Ray

y denotes number of boxes

To find: an equation to describe how many boxes, y, he can make with x pieces of wood.

Solution:

Total number of pieces of wood with Ray = x

As Ray uses 8 pieces of wood for each box he makes,

Number of boxes made by Ray =

Also, number of boxes made by Ray = y

So,

its a straight line parallel to the time axis
