Define x:
-------------------------------------------
Let the shorter piece be x.
Shorter piece = x
Longer piece = 6x
-------------------------------------------
Construct equation:
-------------------------------------------
x +6x =35
7x = 35
x =5
-------------------------------------------
Find the length:
-------------------------------------------
Shorter length = x = 5 feet
Larger length = 6x = 6(5) = 30 feet
-------------------------------------------
Answer: The shorter piece is 5 feet.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
V = L*W*H
V= (4/3)*(4/3)*(4/3)
Volume = 
Answer:
y = - x - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
y=mx+b
m refers to slope
b refers to y intercept
y = (-1)x + (-2)
y = - x - 2
The number is 125 and the equation is 0.8x = 100
Step-by-step explanation:
80% of x is equal to 100.
Write an equation that shows the relationship of 80%, x, and 100
80% = 0.8
0.8x = 100
x = 100/0.8
x = 125
The number is 125 and the equation is 0.8x = 100
