Hey there!!

Let's take the length of the bigger piece as x inches

Then, the length of the smaller piece would be x - 8 inches

The sum of these lengths would be 54 inches

... x + x - 8 = 54

... 2x - 8 = 54

... Add 8 on both sides

... 2x = 62

... Divide 2 on both sides

... x = 31

Hence, the length of the bigger piece = 31 inches

The length of the smaller piece would be = 31 - 8 = 23 inches

Hope my answer helps!!

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

When you find the sum of 3 and 5 you get 8, which represents the total number of vehicles used in the trucks to cars ratio.

This means that the ratio of cars to total vehicles in this ratio is 5 to 8. Because there are 24 vehicles in the parking lot, and 8 × 3 = 24, you can multiply the entire ratio by three to get your answer:

5 to 8 ⇒ 15 to 24

Therefore, the number of cars in the parking lot is 15.

Answer:

a) 42°F < x < 176°F

b) The inequality graph is attached.

c) No, This is because at 20° F benzene would not be in liquid form but in solid form.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Question,

a) For the benzene to remain in liquid form, the temperature of benzene must be less than the boiling point and greater than the boiling point. Let x be the temperature of benzene, For benzene to remain as liquid, its temperature must be between:

42°F < x < 176°F

b) The inequality graph is attached. The graph shows that the temperature of benzene must be between 42°F and 176°F so that it would be a liquid. The Closed circles represent that it is greater than 2.

c) No, This is because at 20° F benzene would not be in liquid form but in solid form. Because the temperature cannot go below 42 before it freezes, she would not have been able to conduct her research .
