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

Answer:
"Theorem 106: If the slopes of two lines are opposite reciprocals of one another, or the product of their slopes is −1, then the lines are nonvertical perpendicular lines." - www.cliffsnotes.com
Subtraction is finding the difference between two numbers whereas division is
putting numbers into equal pairs or undoing multiplication ( if that helps )
So...
If they say divide 6 by 2 they mean put six into equal pairs of 2 which would equal 3
E.g.:-
( there are 3 pairs of six cars in twos )
You can't use subtraction because that will just find the number difference of 6 and 2 which is 4
Hope that wasn't complicated
Answer:
x=5/3, y= 4 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
y=4x−2
y=x+3
x+3=4x-2
3=3x-2
5=3x
x=5/3
y=4(5/3)−2
y=6 2/3-2
y= 4 2/3
the scale factor or ratio of two similar figures, will be the same as the ratio of their perimeter, or even the ratio of two corresponding sides.
for example, we have say, an irregular octagon with a perimeter of say 13, and a similar octagon with a perimeter of 39, then
which is another way to say, the smaller is 1/3 of the larger one, or the larger one is 3 times as the smaller one.
