Let
x---------> the length of the first piece
y---------> the length of the second piece
z---------> the length of the third piece
we know that
x+y+z=72 -------> equation 1
y=x+6 -----> solve for x
x=y-6 -------> equation 2
z=6+y -------> equation 3
substitute equation 2 and equation 3 in equation 1
[y-6]+y+[6+y]=72
3y=72
y=(72/3)=24 in
<u>Find the value of x</u>
x=y-6 -------> equation 2
x=24-6=18 in
<u>Find the value of z</u>
z=6+y -------> equation 3
z=6+24=30 in
therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
the length of the first piece is 18 in
the length of the second piece 24 in
the length of the third piece is 30 in

Answer:
(-0.5,-2.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
- (x1 + x2) / 2 = x midpoint
- (y1 + y2) / 2 = y midpoint
<h3>X:</h3>
⇒ 2 + -3 = 5
⇒ 5 / 2 = -0.5
<h3>Y:</h3>
⇒ 4 + -9 = -5
⇒ -5 / 2 = -2.5
→ = (-0.5, -2.5)
Commutative property of multiplication is two numbers being multiplied either way,example 1x2 = 2x1.
