an 18-foot wire is to be cut so that the longer piece is 5 times longer than the shorter piece. find the length of each peice

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

The longer piece is 15 feet long and the shorter piece is 3 feet long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a system of equations where x is the length of the longer piece and y is the length of the shorter piece:

x + y = 18

x = 5y

Solve by substitution by substituting 5y as x into the first equation:

x + y = 18

5y + y = 18

Solve for y:

6y = 18

y = 3

So, the shorter piece is 3 feet long. Since the longer piece is 5 times longer, find its length by multiplying this by 5:

3(5)

= 15

So, the longer piece is 15 feet long.

The longer piece is 15 feet long and the shorter piece is 3 feet long.

The point (-3,1) is moved 3 places in the negative y direction and 2 places in the positive x direction.

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

(-6, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the coordinate points (-3,1). If The point (-3,1) is moved 3 places in the negative y direction and 2 places in the positive x direction the required coordinate will be expressed ss;

X' = (-3-3, 1+3)

X = (-6, 4)

Hence the resulting coordinate will be at:(-6, 4)

Perform the indicated operation. 15b/4 * 8/9a^2b^2

Sergio [31]

Answer:

The simplified expression is $\frac{10}{3 a^2 b}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is:

$\frac{15b}{4} * \frac{8}{9a^2 b^2}$

Multiply the items in the numerator together ( 15b * 8 = 120 b). Also multiply the items in the denominator together ( 4 * 9a²b² = 36a²b²). The expression thus becomes:

$= \frac{120b}{36 a^2 b^2} \\\\$
