STEP 1:
convert meters to centimeters
100 cm= 1 meter

= 100 cm/m * 2.5 m
= 250 cm


STEP 2:
x= length of first shelf
2x+18= length of second shelf
x-12= length of third shelf
x+4= length of fourth shelf

since the whole board has to be used, add lengths of all shelves and set it equal to the whole length of the board (250 cm).

x + (2x+18) + (x-12) + (x+4)= 250 cm
combine like terms
5x + 10= 250
subtract both sides by 10
5x= 240
divide both sides by 5
x= 48


STEP 3:
find length of second shelf
= 2x + 18
= 2(48) + 18
= 114 cm


CHECK:
x + (2x+18) + (x-12) + (x+4)= 250
48 + (2(48)+18) + (48-12) + (48+4)= 250
48 + (96+18) + 36 + 52= 250
48 + 114 + 36 + 52= 250
250= 250


ANSWER: Shelf two is 114 cm.

Hope this helps! :)

Find the distance between the points (2,2) (5,5)
Ugo [173]

Answer: root18


Step-by-step explanation:

A (2,2) x1=2 y1=2

B (5,5) x2=5 y2=5

D(AB) = root [(x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2]

= root [(5-2)^2 + (5-2)^2]

= root [3^2 + 3^2]

= root (9+9)

D(AB)=root18
