x = long piece

y = short piece

 x = 2y+1

2y +1 +y =16

3y +1 = 16

3y =15

y = 15/3 =5

 y = 5

x = 2(5) +1 = 11

short piece is 5 feet

long piece is 11 feet

Rachel and her friends are making necklaces out of beads and straws. They plan to use 12 beads and 5 straws for each necklace. T
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

225 necklaces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that they have the necessary amount of straws to match the beads then we can use the following simple equation to solve this problem.

t = b/12  ... where t is the total amount of necklaces and b is the number of beads you have

t = 2700 / 12

225 necklaces.

For 225 necklaces you would also need 1125 straws since each necklace requires 5 straws to be fully made. Therefore if you have this amount you should not run into any problems.

X to the power of 3 - 7x + 6 factorise please whole step by step​
Over [174]

Answer:

(x     +  3)(x   -  2)(x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

{x}^{3}  - 7x + 6

Factor using Rational Root Theorem.

This means our possible roots are

positve or negative (1,2,3,6). If we try positve 1, it is indeed a root.

This means that

(x - 1)

is a root.

We can divide the top equation by the root (x-1). Our new equation is

( {x}^{2}   +  x - 6)

Now we can factor this completely

(x + 3)(x - 2)

So this equation in factored form is

(x  + 3)(x - 2)(x - 1)
