Answer:28inches & 84inches
First, lets write an equation that fits the data given. The string is 112 inches long. When the two pieces are cut, the first piece will be three times as long as the second piece. If we use the variable, x, to represent the second piece, we can create the following equation...
112=3x+x
Now lets solve for x.
112=4x
divide both sides by 4
28 inches=x
Now we know that the second piece is 28inches long. Since the first piece is three times as long, simply multiply 28*3 and we'll know the length of the first piece.
28*3=84 inches
28+84=112
The answer to the question is (x + 3)
Answer:
Slope is 1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
When one line has a slope of M, a perendicular line has a slope of -1/M
in this case M = -2/3, so you put it into -1/(-2/3) which equals to 1.5
Answer:
$1.07 for the late fees.
Step-by-step explanation:
You can find the fee for this price by finding 3% of the $35.62 (total cost of the books). You can find this number by multiplying (35.62*.03).
35.62*.03
1.0686
Round up because you cannot have part of a cent.
$1.07 for the late fees.
