So, let's let w be the length of the first piece of the board.
(I was going to do l (small L) but it's too hard to see on computers)

second piece is 2w since it's twice the length of first.
third piece is 6w, since it's six times longer than the first.
and these three pieces were one one 180ft board, therefore, that means:
w + 2w + 6w = 180

now let's solve for w (length of first piece)!
w + 2w + 6w = 180
7w = 180
w = 180/7 ≈ 25.71ft

Therefore, the first piece of the board would be approximately 25.71ft.

Write an equation in slope intercept form of the line shown (1,-3) (3,1)
OLga [1]

Answer:

y = 2x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the slope intercept formula y2 - y1 / x2 -x1...

You get a slope of 2 so y = 2x +b

Then to find b the intercept, you plug in one of the coordinates like so...

1 = 2(3) + b

Then solve to get an intercept of -5.

So the slope-intercept form would be...

y = 2x - 5

Square 24-×whenx=6. Write in radical form
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

√ 18 = 3 √2

Step-by-step explanation:

So 24-6 is 18 and then the square root of that. You have to divide by a perfect square and the largest perfect square that can go into 18 is nine because 3x3. 9 can go into 18 2 times so it is 2 radical 9
