Where x is the length of the first piece

so the first piece is 3 inches, the second is 6 inches and the third is 19 inches
Answer:
72
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Since the ratio of blue jays to robin's was 6 to 7 then if there were 84 robins how many blue jays were there.</em>
<em>6 to 7 can also be express as 6/7</em>
<em>Thus, we can set up a proportion</em>
<em>6/7 = x/84</em>
<em>Now, we have to solve for x</em>
<em>x = 72</em>
<em>Hence, if there were 84 robin there would be 72 blue jays.</em>

3*4*2.75=33
Answer:
750 grams of 60% alloy
Step-by-step explanation:
Define x = amount of 60% alloy and y = amount of 20% alloy
Equating the amounts of gold:
0.6x+0.2y = 1000(0.5)
Since there must be 1000 grams total:
x+y = 1000
Writing the 2 resulting equations together:
0.6x + 0.2y = 500
x + y = 1000
Multiply the first equation by 5:
3x + y = 2500
x + y = 1000
Subtracting the 2nd equation from the 1st:
2x = 1500
x = 750
Answer: 750 grams of 60% alloy
