39 foot into 3 pieces
one is 13 feet
 the other pieces add up to the remaining wire
 which is 39-13=26 so
 the two remaining pieces are x and y
one must be 2 less than 3 times the other
 x must be 2 less than 3 times the y
x=-2+3y
 x=3y-2
 x+y=remaining=26
 26=x+y
 x=3y-2
 subsitute
 26=3y-3+y
 add like terms
 26=4y-2
 add 2 to both sides
 28=4y
 divide by 4
 7=y
 subsitute
 7+x=26
 subtract 7
 x=19
 19>7
 7 feet is the legnth of the shorter piece

Answer:

If the slopes are different, there is one solution.

If the slopes the same but the y intercepts different, there is no solution.

If the slopes and y intercepts are the same, there are infinitely many solutions.

2x + y = 4

2y = 6 - 2x

Solve for y on both

y = 4 - 2x

y = 3 - x

They are both different, so there is one solution

Answer:

no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

(you do the exact same you'd do in an equation problem. Get x by itself)

3x+1<2x-2<5x+7

1 < -x-2 < 5x+7

3< -x < 5x+9

3 < -6x < 9

-(1/2) > x > -(3/2)

x can't be bigger than -3 halves and be smaller than -1 half, so the answer is no solution

According to the Centers for Disease Control, the probability that a randomly selected citizen of the United States has hearing
laila [671]
I think the answer is yes you can because they are both different things.

What I mean by that is that the United Stated as .151% of its people with hearing problems, and .093% with vision problems. So really adding them together just mixes it saying that .244% of people in the united states have either a vision or a hearing problem.

It doesn’t make it any more or any less people by adding them together. Therefore it’s not any more or any less probable to pick one or the other.

Hopes this helps.
