A 36-inch string is to be cut so that one piece is 9 inches longer than the other. What is the length of the shorter piece?

Answer:

The shorter piece is 13.5 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the shorter piece be x inches long. That means the longer piece will be x+9 inches long.

Put the two pieces together and the total is 36 inches:

x + x+9 = 36

Combine like terms.

2x + 9 = 36

Subtract 9 from both sides.

2x = 27

Divide by 2.

x = 13.5

The shorter piece is 13.5 inches. The longer piece is 22.5 inches.

13.5 + 22.5 = 36

Solve the following inequality: 9x+2/3(−7x+6)−1≥2
klasskru [66]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3(9x - 14/3x + 4 - 1 ≥ 2)

27x - 14x + 12 - 3 ≥ 6

13x + 9 ≥ 6

13x ≥ -3

x ≥ -3/13

Can someone explain why the answer is D? i don't get how to do this :')
Elodia [21]

Join JH and KH.

You did that so you could measure or calculate the size of <JHK. There are 5 such central angles in a pentagon. If you drew a little circle with H as the center and you went around the circle once, you would have traveled 360 degrees. So <JHK = 360/5 = 72. Make sure you understand that before you read on.

Ok here's the trick. 144 = 2*72. That means that when you rotate the pentagon, you rotate it through Two central angles.

What will happen is that Point J will wind up at Point L and Point K will sit where N is right now. All the points not mentioned will do the same thing. They will move two points clockwise.

What is the slope intercept equation for a parallel line through (1,3), parallel to y=2x+5
Daniel [21]

Answer:

the desired line is y = 2x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

A line parallel to y=2x+5 has a very similar equation.  All we have to do here is to write y=2x+5 as y=2x+b and find b for x = 1 and y = 3.

Replacing y with 3 and x with 1, we get 3 = 2(1) + b.  Then b = 1, and the desired line is y = 2x+1
