First, you want to find the price per pencil:

2.16/12=0.18

Then divide $4.50 by price per pencil:

4.50/0.18=25

He could buy 25 pencils with $4.50.

A 31-inch piece of steel is cut into three pieces so that the second piece is twice as long as the first piece, and the third

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

The length of the first piece is 4 inches, that of the second is 8 inches and the third 19 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of the steel = 31 inches

Let the length of the first piece = x

let the length of the second piece = y

Let the length of the third piece = z

So,

y = 2x

z = 4x + 3

x + 2x + 4x +3 = total length of the steel = 31

7x + 3 + 31

7x = 31 - 3

7x = 28

x= 4 inches

Thus; y = 2x = 2 × 4 = 8 inches

z = 4x +3 = 4×4 +3 =19 inches

∴The length of the first piece is 4 inches, that of the second is 8 inches and the third 19 inches.

Hey there! Hello!

So, for this problem, I don't really see an answer choice that fits along with this description?? The last one is the closest to the answer I believe it is, but still doesn't fit exactly:

Twice a number = 2n
Three more than = +3
Final equation = 2n+3

Perhaps you have a typo either in your question or your answer problem, or I'm just way too tired. Either way, I hope this helped you out, and feel free to ask me any additional questions you may have.
