A 42-inch board is to be cut into three pieces so that the second piece is twice as long as the first piece and the third piece

is 3 times as long as the first piece. If x
represents the length of the first piece, find the lengths of all three pieces.
What is the length of the first piece?

Answer: 7 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

       If x is the first piece, and the second piece is twice as long, then the second piece is 2x.

        If the third piece is three times as long as the first piece, x, then the third piece is 3x.

       The 42-inch board must be equal to all 3 pieces, so we will set up an equation and solve for x.

42 = x + 2x + 3x

42 = 6x

42 = 6x

7 = x

              The first piece is 7 inches long.

How many triangles can be made with a 70 degree angle a 30 degree angle and an 80 degree angle​
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

There are infinite number of triangles that could be achieved with those angles.

To picture this, we only have to imagine a triangle that is either smaller or bigger than the one at hand.

Tracing a series of paralell lines (which guarantee that the angles are being kept),  we can draw triangles for infinite values of x,y and z.

Solve eight and two fourths minus three and one third
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

5 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewriting our equation with parts separated

=8+2/4−3−1/3

Solving the whole number parts

8−3=5

Solving the fraction parts

2/4−1/3=?

Find the LCD of 2/4 and 1/3 and rewrite to solve with the equivalent fractions.

LCD = 12

6/12−4/12=2/12

Reducing the fraction part, 2/12,

2/12=1/6

Combining the whole and fraction parts

5+1/6=5 1/6

The product of 4 and a number w is at most 51
LenaWriter [7]
Ok, at most is basically less than or equal to the number, because it means that at most the number is equal to or less. The equation is 4W  >  51

line q and line M are cut by transversal lines J&amp;K the lines and the measures of some of the angles created by the intersect
Tomtit [17]

The angle of 110° and the angle labelled as 1 form 180°, so we have

= 180-110=70

The same holds for the angle labelled 2 and the 115° angle:

= 180-115=65

Angle 1, 2 and 7 are the interior angles of a triangle, so they sum to 180. We can deduce

= 180-70-65=45

Angles 5 and 7 are corresponding angles, so they have the same measure.
