The length of the shorter piece is 30

<h3>What are algebraic expressions?</h3>

Algebraic expressions are expressions that are made up of constants, terms, factors and variables.

They also contain mathematical operations such as division, addition, multiplication, subtraction, etc

From the information given, we have;

Let the length of one piece be x

Let of the other piece is 5x

5x + x = 180

collect like terms

6x = 180

Make 'x' the subject

x = 180/ 6

x = 30

Thus, the length of the shorter piece is 30

.<br> Simplify the expression.<br><br> (7 – c)(–1)

Ganezh [65]

For this, you use the Law of Distribution and multiply -1 by all terms in the parentheses. 7 • -1 = -7; -c • -1 = c. Then you combine them, but since c is a variable, -7 + c is the most simplified it can get. I hope this helped!

this is part 2 and you just have to find the total area in sq ft and also answer how much material do you need to make 3 backpac

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

1. 1 1/8= 18/16

5/16*2= 10/16

4/16*2= 8/16

9/16= 9/16

1/2= 8/16

18/16 + 10/16 + 8/16 + 9/16 + 8/16= 53/16

Simplify:

4 & 5/16sq ft

2. All you do is multiply that by 3... so 4 & 5/16 = 53/16 53/16*3 = 159/16 = 9 & 15/16 sq ft

The population of a small town in Alabama is 382 people. If the growth rate is 0.7%, what will its population be in 30 years?

goldenfox [79]

Formula for growth:

y = initial • (percent growth + 1)^time/frequency of growth

So, since initial population is 382

Percent growth is 0.007

The time is 30 years

And it goes it by .07% every 1 year,

y = 382 • (1.007)^30/1

y= 470.9203732 people

Since we can’t have 0.9 of a person, the population after 30 years will be 470 people.

Z = 44i+ 23.3<br> What is the real part of z?<br> What is the imaginary part of z?

lord [1]

Answer:

real: 23.3
imaginary: 44

Step-by-step explanation:

The real part does not have i as a multiplier. It is 23.3.

The imaginary part* is the coefficient of i: 44.

_____

* There is some disagreement as to whether the imaginary part includes i or not. One source says the imaginary part is the part that has i as a factor (44i). Another source says the imaginary part is the real number that multiplies i (44). Above, we have used the latter definition. Please consult your curriculum materials for the definition you should use.
