If the shorter piece is x then the longer piece is 7x:

x+7x=32
8x=32
x=4

the shorter piece is 4 ft long

5(m+2)-m=2m+3<br><br>Please I need help

Blababa [14]

Answer:

m=-7/2

Step-by-step explanation:

(5 • (m + 2) - m) - (2m + 3) = 0

2m + 7 = 0

3.1 Solve : 2m+7 = 0

Subtract 7 from both sides of the equation :

2m = -7

Divide both sides of the equation by 2:

m = -7/2 = -3.500

Find the distance between the points

Tasya [4]

Answer:

5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the distance d using the distance formula

d = $\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2 }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (6, 4)

d = $\sqrt{(6-2)^2+(4-1)^2}$

= $\sqrt{4^2+3^2}$

= $\sqrt{16+9}$

= $\sqrt{25}$

= 5
