Step-by-step explanation:
Use the rise over run strategy on linear functions such as this one
Answer:
The answer to your question is letter C.
Step-by-step explanation:
Process
1.- Let be the number we are looking for "n".
2.- Twice a number means that number is multiplied by 2: 2n
3.- "is the same as" means equality
4.- 12, number 12
5.- "three times the number" means the number multiplied by 3n
2n = 12 - 3n
Answer:
4.333 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
We are told that the rope is cut into two pieces and that one (longer) piece is twice the length of the other (short) piece
let the length of the short piece = x meters
hence the length of the longer piece = 2x meters
we are also given that the total length of the two pieces is 6.5m
hence,
length of short piece + length of long piece = 6.5 m
in equation form:
x + 2x = 6.5
3x = 6.5 (divide both sides by 3)
x = 6.5/3 meters
we are asked to find the length of the long piece (i.e 2x)
hence
2x = 2 (6.5/3) = 4.333 meters (answer)
