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!!

granola bite contains 27 calories. Most of the calories come from grams of carbohydrates. The rest come from other ingredients.
azamat

Answer:

5 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The calories contained are from grams of carbohydrates and other ingredients

One gram of carbohydrate contains 4 calories

The equation 4c + 5 = 27 represents the relationship between these quantities.

1. 5 from the equation represent calories from other ingredients

2. Neither 8 nor 3 is the solution to the equation

4c + 5 = 27

When 8 is the solution

4(8)+5=27

32+5=27

37=27

When 3 is the solution

4(3)+5=27

12+5=27

17=27

Neither 8 nor 3 is the solution to the equation because 8 gives a higher calories in the granola bite and 3 gives a lower calories in the granola bite.

3. Solution to the equation

4c + 5 = 27

4c= 27-5

4c = 22

Divide both sides by 4

c=22/4

=5 2/4

=5 1/2

The solution to the equation is 5 1/2

uppose that y varies inversely with x. Write an equation for the inverse variation. y = 2 when x = 5
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

An equation for the inverse variation y = 2 when x = 5 is:

y=10/x

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that y varies inversely with x:

y=k/x

Write an equation for the inverse variation y = 2 when x = 5

Substituting y by 2 and x by 5 in the formula above:

2=k/5

Solving for k: Multiplying both sides of the equation by 5:

5(2)=5(k/5)

10=k

k=10

Then the equation is:

y=k/x

y=10/x
