Answer:

The shorter piece is 18 cm long.

Step-by-step explanation:

A ratio can be written as a fraction. So, 2:5 can be written as \frac{2}{5}

Let the shorter piece be x cm long.

This means:

\frac{x}{45} = \frac{2}{5}

If we cross multiply we get

5x = 2(45)

5x = 90

x = <u>18</u>

Which system of linear inequalities represented by the graph y_&gt;2x-1 and y_&lt;2x+2
GREYUIT [131]
1. Check picture 1.

2. By drawing 2 pairs of points,as shown in the picture, we can easily draw the lines y=2x-1 and y=2x+2

3. We notice that the lines are parallel. (we can notice this also from the slopes of the lines, that is the coefficients of x'es, both equal to 2, which means the lines are parallel)

4. Pick (1, 3), as shown in the picture to check which side of each line we will color. (any point can work.)

5. Check (1, 3) in inequality  y_<2x+2: 
3_<2*1+2=4 is actually true, so we color the part of the line containing (1, 3) 

Check (1, 3) in the inequality y_>2x-1: 3_>2*1-1=1 which is true, so we color the part of the line containing the point:

6. So we color the part below the black line and the part above the blue line.

The solution is the part colored in both cases, which is the strip between the lines.

7. Answer: picture 2 is the graph of the system of inequalities

In July, the average temperature in one US city was 29°C. By December, the average temperature had fallen by 29°C. Explain why t
saul85 [17]
The temperature went up 29°C, which represents a positive 29. Then the temperature fell 29°C, which represents a negative 29. The average temperature rose and fell the same amount. The absolute values are the same, so the difference is 0.

Y=(x-4)/(x*x)-11x+28
klio [65]
Y=(x-4)/2x-11x+28
y=(x/2x)-(4/2x)-11x+28
y=0.5x-2x-11x-28
1. subtract like terms
2. add 28 on both sides
3. so on and so forth...

What is the solution to the system of equations represented by the two equations?
FinnZ [79.3K]
Make the two equations equal together and solve for x
(x/3) = -2x+7 
multiple both sides by 3
x=-6x+21
solve for x
7x=21
x=3.
now plug in 3 into one of the equation to find your y value. 
y=-2(3)+7
y=1
write your answer as a coordinate; (3,1)
