The shorter piece was 2 inches long.Theres your answer
Answer:
Simplifying
5x + 7y = -6
Solving
5x + 7y = -6
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-7y' to each side of the equation.
5x + 7y + -7y = -6 + -7y
Combine like terms: 7y + -7y = 0
5x + 0 = -6 + -7y
5x = -6 + -7y
Divide each side by '5'.
x = -1.2 + -1.4y
Simplifying
x = -1.2 + -1.4y

Simplifying
4x + 7y = -9
Solving
4x + 7y = -9
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-7y' to each side of the equation.
4x + 7y + -7y = -9 + -7y
Combine like terms: 7y + -7y = 0
4x + 0 = -9 + -7y
4x = -9 + -7y
Divide each side by '4'.
x = -2.25 + -1.75y
Simplifying
x = -2.25 + -1.75y
In this case there will be 2 solutions to solve for in this equation, both will equal plus and minus the answer. Which is 14.
6(3x + 5) = +_ 14
The solutions will be the following :
(14/6 - 5)/3
(-14/6 - 5)/3.
Find the median first. The middle of all the numbers.
5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 14, 18, 27
11 is the median.
Then find the median of the upper quartile.
The upper quartile consists of numbers...
5, 7, 8, 10
Since it is an even set of numbers add the two in the middle and divided by two. So 7 plus 8= 15/2.
7.5 is your upper quartile.
