Answer:
I dont know if this is right but I think its 125/343
Since y=x+3 (given)
Put value of y in equation x+y=(-3)
x+x+3=(-3)
2x=(-6)
x=(-3)
Put x=(-3) in x+y=(-3)
(-3)+y=(-3)
y=0
So, x=(-3)
y=0
X + 3x + 4x = 56
8x = 56
x = 7
The shortest piece is 7 inches
The middle piece is 7*3 = 21 inches.
The longest piece is 4*7 = 28 inches
Check
7 + 21 + 28 = 56 It does check and the lengths are correct.
Answer:
20 cans
Step-by-step explanation:
Eileen collected 78 empty cans to recycle
Carl collected 62 empty cans to recycle
They pack equal number of cans in 7 boxes
Therefore the number of cans in each boxes can be calculated as follows.
= 62 + 78/7
= 140/7
= 20
Hence there were 20 cans in each boxes
