Answer:

The answer to your question is:  first piece = 4 in, second piece = 8 in, third piece = 12 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

total length = 24 inches

first piece = x in

second piece = 2x

third piece = 3x

Equation

               x + 2x + 3x = 24

               6x = 24

               x = 24/6

               x = 4               length of the first piece

second piece = 2(4) = 8 inches

third piece = 3(4) = 12 inches

Answer:

  1. 4 in
  2. 8 in
  3. 12 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The total length of the three pieces is ...

  x + 2x + 3x = 24 . . . . inches

  6x = 24 . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms

  x = 4 . . . . . the length in inches of the first piece

  2x = 8 . . . . the length in inches of the second piece

  3x = 12 . . . . the length in inches of the third piece

( {x}^{2}  -2x + 3)(x + 1) \\  {x}^{3}  - 2 {x}^{2}  + 3x +  {x}^{2}  - 2x + 3 \\  {x}^{3}  -  {x}^{2}  + x + 3

Therefore, the answer is the first choice.

For A B and C, you just plug in the given number

A
2(15) + 5 = 35
B
4(20) + 2 = 82
C
6(10) + 5 = 65
And for D, you set the equation to 26 and solve for n
3x + 5 = 26 \\ 3x = 21 \\ x = 7
I had to use x instead of n, but for D n=7. :)

What is the average rate of change of f(x), represented by the table of values, over the interval [-3,4]
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

Average rate of change = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

  • We know that the average rate of change is basically a measure of the slope of the  secant line  in the closed interval [a, b].

here   a = -3 and b = 4

  • f(b) = f(4) = 27
  • f(a) = f(-3) = 6

⇒ Average rate of change = f(b) - f(a)  / b - a

                                            = (27 - 6) / (4 - (-3))

                                            = 21 / 7

                                            = 3

Therefore, Average rate of change = 3

What is 25+120-10x=10x-35=
Alexandra [31]
145-10x=10x-35

Add 35 to both sides.

175-10x=10x

Add 10x to both sides.

175=20x

Divide both sides by 20

8.75=x
