132=3x+x
132=4x
x=33
The length of the shorter piece is 33 inches
<span>Given:
AB = x + 16
BC = 4x + 11
AC= 77
We can safely assume that,
AB + BC = AC
x + 16 + 4x + 11 = 77
5x + 27 = 77
5x = 77 - 27
5x = 50
x = </span>

x = 10
Hence,
AB = x + 16 = 10 + 16 = 26
Hence, proved.
Answer:
It cannot be factored
Step-by-step explanation:
There isn’t any number that multiplies to -7 and add to 2
To work this out you need to do 80 - 64 - 4.16 = 11.48
he received $11.48 change
So the answer would be x=1 and y=-2. Hope this helps
