let length of one piece = x

length of other piece = 236-x

one piece is three times the length of the other

x=3(236-x)

x=708-3x

4x=708

x=177

so first piece is 177 inches long and second piece is (236-177)= 59 inches long

I need help with math

Answer:

Question 13. I believe is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

take your area of the face you are given aka your 7 5/6 and multiply it by six since there are six faces.

You can convert the mixed number to an improper fraction

$7 \frac{5}{6}$ = denominator times the whole number ( 6x7)= then add the numerator (42+5)= $\frac{47}{6}$

Then multiply by six to get your answer

I'm not completely sure about question number fourteen so I am not answering it.

I will like to know how to solve this

Alexxandr [17]

This is a linear equation in x.

So you need to group like terms

$1 + 4x = - 5 + 7x$
Let us group the x terms on the Right Hand Side of the equation and the constant terms on the Left Hand Side.

$1 + 5 = 7x - 4x$
We can now simplify

$6 = 3x$
Now let us divide both sides by 3.

$\frac{6}{3} = \frac{3x}{3}$

This implies that

$2 = x$
or

$x = 2$
Let us our answer

$1 + 4(2) = - 5 + 7(2)$

$1 + 8 = - 5 + 14$
$9 = 9$
Good we are right
