Answer:

Red = 10 cm, blue = 14 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Let the length of each red rod be </em><em>r </em><em>and each blue rod be </em><em>b</em>

<u>Then we have:</u>

  • 3r - 2b = 2
  • 3b - 4r = 2

<u>Multiply the first equation by 3 and the second one by 2:</u>

  • 9r - 6b = 6
  • 6b - 8r = 4

<u>Add the equations to eliminate one of variables:</u>

  • 9r - 8r = 6 + 4
  • r = 10 cm

<u>Find the value of b:</u>

  • 3*10 -2b = 2
  • 30 - 2 = 2b
  • 2b = 28
  • b = 14 cm

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

<h2>         y = 3x - 16</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of line with a given slope of a and containing a given point (x₀, y₀):

y - y₀ = a(x - x₀)

a = 3,  x₀ = 5,  y₀ = -1

So:

y - (-1) = 3(x - 5)  

y = 3x - 15 - 1

<u>y = 3x - 16</u>
