Robert needs to cut four shelves from a board that is 2.5 meters long. The second shelf is 18 cm longer than twice the length of

the first shelf. The remaining shelf is 4 centimeters longer than the first shelf. If Robert must use the entire board for the shelves, what is the length of the second shelf, in cm

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! :)

Solve the system using substitution: y + 8x = 10 and 2y - 4x = 40
exis [7]

Answer:

Hence x = -1 and y = 18

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equations

y + 8x = 10... 1

2y - 4x = 40 ... 2

From 1; y = 10-8x

Substitute into 2;

2(10-8x) - 4x = 40

20 - 16x - 4x = 40

20 - 20x = 40

-20x = 40 - 20

-20x = 20

x = -1

Recall that y = 10-8x

y = 10 - 8(-1)

y = 10 + 8

y = 18

Hence x = -1 and y = 18

At a drive through restaurant Juan’s family ordered a small drink and m medium drinks. Alex’s family ordered m medium drinks and
sertanlavr [38]

<u>Answer: </u>

Expression x + 2my + z represents cost of order where x, y, z are cost of small , medium and large drinks (in dollars) respectively.

<u>Solution: </u>

Given that  

Juan’s family ordered a small drink and m medium drinks.

Alex family ordered m medium drinks and a large drink.

Need to write an algebraic expression which shows total cost of both order in dollars.

Let’s assume cost of one small drink = x

And assume cost of one medium drink = y

And assume cost of one large drink = z

So now cost of order of Juan’s family is equal to cost of 1 small drink + cost of m medium drinks = 1 \times x + m \times y

= x + my

And cost of order of Alex family is equal to cost of m medium drinks + cost of one large drink

= m x y + 1 x z

=my + z

So total cost of both order in dollars = x + my + my + z = x + 2my + z

Hence expression x + 2my + z represents cost of order where x , y , z are cost of small , medium and large drinks (in dollars) respectively.
