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

The length of a rectangle is represented by the function L(x) = 5x. The width of that same rectangle is represented by the funct
Mazyrski [523]

Remember that the area of a rectangle is the length of the rectangle multiplied by the width of the rectangle.


In this case, we could say (where A(x) is the area of the rectangle):

A(x) = L(x) \cdot W(x)


Substituting the values the problem gave us for L(x) and W(x), we can find the formula for A in terms of x, which is:

A(x) = (5x) \cdot (2x^2 - 4x + 13) = (10x^3 - 20x^2 + 65x)


The formula for the area of the rectangle would be A(x) = 10x³ - 20x² + 65x.

Jason and his children went into a movie theater where they sell drinks for $4 each and pretzels for $5 each. Jason has $65 to s
klemol [59]

Answer:

Number of drink = 5

Number of pretzel = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost of each drink = $4

Cost of each pretzel = $5

Total money = 65

Total number of drink and pretzel = 14

Find:

Number of drink and pretzel

Computation:

Number of drink = x

Number of pretzel = 14 - x

So,

x(4) + (14-x)5 = 65

4x + 70 - 5x = 65

x = 5

Number of drink = 5

Number of pretzel = 14 - x

Number of pretzel = 14 - 5 = 9
