Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

7/3 and 14/3 inches

Discussion:

Let P1 = "Piece 1" and "P2 = Piece 2", Then P2 = 2 * P1 and

P1 + P2 = 7       => as P2 = 2 P1

P1 + 2P1 = 7      =>

3P1 = 7             => divide both sides by 7

P1 = 7/3


Then P2 = 2 P1 - 2* (7/3) = 14/3

Thank you,

MrB

Otrada [13]

Answer

X = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

1x - 2 = 6

1x = 6 + 2

1x = 8 (divide both sides by 1 to get x)

1x/1 = 8/1

x = 8

Answer:

C) (x-6)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

x2 - 12x+36

What two numbers multiply to 36 and add to -12

-6*-6 = 36

-6+-6 = -12

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer: C, D

<u>Explanation:</u>

Length: L = x + 3

width: x ≥ y + 2   ⇒  y ≤ x - 2

wheels: y

0.50(L * x) + 4(2.25y) ≤ 50

0.50(x + 3)(x) + 4(2.25y) ≤ 50

0.50(x² + 3x) + 9y ≤ 50

                        9y ≤ 50 - 0.50(x² + 3x)

                        <u>9y</u> ≤ <u>50 - 0.50x² - 1.5x</u>

                        ÷9               ÷9

                          y ≤ \frac{50}{9}-\frac{1}{6}x-\frac{1}{18}x^{2}

*******************************************************************************

15 per person is the rate

22 is the constant

y = 15x + 22

<em>divide that by the number of people (x) to get:</em>

y = \frac{15x + 22}{x}
