Answer:

The length of the two pieces are 41 in and 24 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the length of one piece

y ----> the length of the other piece

we know that

x+y=65 -----> equation A

x=2y-7 -----> equation B

Solve the system of equations by substitution

Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y

(2y-7)+y=65\\ 3y=65+7\\ 3y=72\\ y=24\ in

Find the value of x

x=2(24)-7\\ x=48-7=41\ in

therefore

The length of the two pieces are 41 in and 24 in

Solve for x. Simplify completely.<br> x^2+4x+4=8
velikii [3]
X^2+4x+4=8
-8                -8
subtract 8 from both sides 

x^2+4x-4=0

now factor using quadratic formula
ax^2+bx+c=0

x= -b +-[ (sqrt (b^2-4ac))/2a ]

x=-2(1+sqrt(2))


x= 2(sqrt(2) -1)

hope that helps, hopefully you know how to plug and chug into quadratic formula. if not you can ask for help

Evaluate the following expression by applying the appropriate properties (24) 3 (31.7)/ 172
ale4655 [162]

−3/7×14/15×7/12×(−30/35)

=(−3/7×14/15)×(7/12×−30/35)

On further calculation, we get

=−2/5×−1/2

We get,

=1/5.

Property 1:

If a/b is a rational number and m is a non-zero integer then a/b =(a*m)/(b*m). In other words, we can say that the rational number remains unaltered if we multiply both the numerator and denominator with the same integer. Ex: 2/3 = 2*2/3*2 = 4/6, 2*3/3*3 = 6/9, 2*4/3*4 = 8/12.
