x = the length of one piece

y = the length of the other piece


the total length is 100 cm this means 


x + y = 100


one piece is 16 inches longer than the other


first we need to convert inches to cm: 


1 in = 2.54 cm

16 in = 2.54*16 = 40.64


now we can write


x = y + 40.64


by solving the system of equations


x + y = 100

x = y + 40.64


we find


x = 70.32 cm


y = 29.68 cm


the lengths of the two pieces are 70.32 cm and 29.68 cm.

For what values of a does the equation a+x= 1+xa^2 have no solution?
Anton [14]

Answer:

We have the equation

a+x= 1+xa^2

we leave the terms with x on the left side of the equation and the independent terms on the right side.

x-xa^2=1-a\\(1-a^2)x=1-a\\

resolving for x we have that

x=\frac{1-a}{1-a^2}

Since we need that the equation doesn't have solution, then it is necessary that the denominator of x be 0 and this occur when 1-a^2=0\\1=a^2\\a=\pm1

Then, for a=\pm1 the equation hasn't solution

A train brakes from 40 m/s to a stop in 5 sec. What is the acceleration of the train?
Basile [38]

Answer:

To find the acceleration we have its formula as

v-u/t where v is final velocity, u is initial velocity and t is time

So substituting the values,

0-40/5 m/s²

-40/5 = -8 m/s²

Thus the acceleration is -8m/s²

pls give brainliest for the answer

A motel rents double rooms at $34 per day and single rooms at $27 per day. If 26 rooms were rented one day for a total of $807,
torisob [31]

Let, number of double rooms and single rooms are d and s.

d + s = 26     ....1 )

Hotel rents double rooms at $34 per day and single rooms at $27 per day.

34d + 27s = 807   ....2)

Solving equation 1 and 2, we get :

34( 26 - s ) + 27s = 807

884 - 34s + 27s = 807

7s = 77

s = 11

And d = 26 - 11 = 15

Therefore, number of double rooms and single rooms are 15 and 11.

Hence, this is the required solution.
