The answer is 5/4 in

The initial length:
1 ft = 12 in
8 ft = 8 * 12 in
      = 96 in

The final length:
7 ft 10 3/4 in = 7 ft + 10 in + 3/4 in
                     = 7 * 12 in + 10 in + 3/4 in
                     = 84 in + 10 in + 3/4 in
                     = 94 in + 3/4 in

The cut if the initial length - final length:
96 in - 94 in - 3/4 in = 2 in - 3/4 in = 8/4 in - 3/4 in = 5/4 in

6(x²-4x+4-4)+1=0, 6(x-2)²-24+1=0, 6(x-2)²=23, x-2=±√(23/6), x=2±√(23/6)=2±1.95789, so x=3.95789 or 0.04211 approx. These are the zeroes.

alex41 [277]

Answer: (13 + y) / 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Grandma Gertrude gave 13 pieces of jewelry and Grandma Fien gave y pieces of jewelry to the Carlson sisters, the total jewellery given to the sisters will be:

= 13 + y

Since there are 5 Carlson sisters, the number of pieces of jewelry that each sister receive will be:

= Total jewelries / Number of sisters

= (13 + y) / 5
