The lengths of the first, second and third piece are respectively 8 ft, 16 ft and 32 ft

<h3>How to solve Algebra word Problems?</h3>

Let the length of the first piece be x.

Let the length of the second piece be 2x

Let the length of the thrid piece be 4x

Since the total length of the piece is 56 ft, then we can say that;

x + 2x + 4x = 56

7x = 56

x = 56/7

x = 8 ft

Thus, length of first piece = 8 ft

Length of second piece = 2 * 8 = 16 ft

Length of third piece = 4 * 8 = 32 ft

Thus, the lengths of the first, second and third piece are respectively 8 ft, 16 ft and 32 ft

Answer: Joe has initial amount of $12 ( when he played no game).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Joe took $12 to the arcade. Each game cost $.50 to play.

This situation can be modeled with the equation y =-0.50 x+ 12.

Here,

Money Joe has remaining is repreesnted by 'y', and the number of games he plays is represented by 'x'.

Since y-intercept gives the initial value of the function when x=0.

To find y-intercept , we out x=0 in funtion , we get

y=-0.50(0)+12=12

So , y-intercept of this function is at y=12.

Meaning of the y-intercept in the terms of this problem :

Joe has initial amount of $12 ( when he played no game).
