Let one section be x ft long and the other one be 3x. Then 4x=28, and x=7.

The shorter section will have length 7.

Solve for x. x - 2(2 - 3/2 x) = 2(4 - x) + 1

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

x = 13/6

Step-by-step explanation:

We are the following expression;

x - 2(2 - (3/2)*x) = 2(4 - x) + 1

x - (4 - 3*x) = 8 - 2*x + 1

x - 4 + 3*x = 8 - 2*x + 1

4*x + 2*x = 9 + 4

6*x = 13

x = 13/6

Can someone help me with this question?

The y-intercept (where x = 0) of the equation is at -20.

For every 60 the x runs, the y falls by -10. Use rise over run to determine the slope of the equation.

$\frac{-10}{60} = - \frac{1}{6}$

Slope-intercept form is determined by the following equation:

$y = mx + b$

m is your slope, and b is your y-intercept.

Plug the slope and y-intercept into the equation.

$y = -\frac{1}{6}x - 20$

Simora [160]

M + s = 10 or s = 10 - m
3m + 2s = 23 
substitute first equation into second equation: 
3m + 2(10 - m) = 23 
3m + 20 - 2m = 23 
m = 3 
using first equation: 
s = 10 - 3 = 7 
check using second equation: 
3(3) + 2(7) = 23 
9 + 14 = 23 checks 
He hit 7 stationary and 3 moving targets.

I believe the answer would be A 32.

This is because 3 is congruent to 4.
