Your answer would be option B. 2y² - y - 6 = 0. This is because if you were to substitute x = y² - 1 into the equation 2x - y = 4, you would get 2(y² - 1) - y = 4, which expands into 2y² - 2 - y = 4, and then simplifies to 2y² - y - 6 = 0.
I hope this helps!
Step-by-step explanation:
= -4 ÷ ( 1/3 × (7 - 1/2) ) + 3
= -4 ÷ ( 1/3 × 13/2 ) + 3
= -4 ÷ 13/6 + 3
= -4 × 6/13 + 3
= -24/13 + 3
= -24/13 + 39/13
= 15/13
F=length of first piece=x; S=length of second piece=2x
T=length of third piece=3x
.
F+S+T=24 inches
x+2x+3x=24 inches
6x=24in
F=x=4in
ANSWER 1: The length of the first piece is 4 inches.
.
S=2x=2(4in)=8in
ANSWER 2: The length of the second piece is 8 inches.
.
T=3x=3(4in)=12 inches.
ANSWER 3: The length of the third piece is 12 inches.
.
CHECK:
F+S+T=24in
4in+8in+12in=24in
24in=24in
