Answer:

Piece 1 = 26 inches

Piece 2 = 16 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

42 inches long

Divided into two pieces

Piece 1: x

Piece 2: 0.5x + 3

Add the pieces together and set equal to 42, (or the total)

x + 0.5x + 3 = 42

1.5x + 3 = 42

Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation

1.5x = 39

Divide both sides of the equation by 1.5

x = 26

Piece 1 = 26 inches

Piece 2 = 42 - 26 = 16 inches

Hope this helps :)

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

y = 2M - x  

Step-by-step explanation:

  M = (x + y)/2     Multiply both sides by 2

2M = x + y           Subtract x from each side

  y = 2M - x

Does this equation support the Law of Conservation of Mass? Why or why not? *
Olenka [21]

Answer:

No, because the equation has to be balanced, I dont know if you meant to write 2 Co2 on the product side, but either way, it isnt balanced.

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!
V125BC [204]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculating the volumes of both solids

Volume of a cube = s³ ( where s is the side length )

here s = 10, hence

V = 10³ = 10 × 10 × 10 = 1000 in³

Volume of a cylinder = area of base × height

Area of circular base = πr²

here r = 10 and h = 12, hence

V = π × 10² × 12 = 1200π ≈ 3769 .9 in³

The volume of the cylinder is greater than the volume of the cube → D
