Answer:
She has approximately 3 pieces ( 2.625)
Step-by-step explanation:
To get the number of pieces, we need to divide the length of the wire by the individual length of the pieces.
To get the division done, it would be easier to convert what we have into improper fractions
For the piece of wire, the length which is 4 and 3/8 centimeters long will be 35/8 centimeters
while;
the individual length of each of the piece which is 1 and 2/3 centimeters long will be 5/3 centimeters
The number of pieces is thus 35/8 divided by 5/3 = 35/8 * 3/5 = 21/8 = 2.625 which is approximately 3 pieces
Ok so basically solve for y
x-y=12
27+3y=2x
27+3y=2x
subtract 3y from both sides
27=2x-3y
2x-3y=27
x-y=12
multiply by -2
-2x+2y=-24
add them
2x-3y=27
<u>-2x+2y=-24 +</u>
0x-1y=3
-y=3
y=-3
y coordinate is -3
2.
y=2x+14
-4x-y=4
y=2x+14
subtract 2x from both sides
y-2x=14
mulitply both sides by -2
-2y+4x=-28
add the 2 equations
-2y+4x=-28
<u /><u>-y-4x=4 +</u>
-3y+0x=-24
-3y=-24
divide both sides by -3
y=8
y coordinate is 8
1. y coordinate is y=-3
2. y coordinate is y=8<u>
