Answer:

50 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the each ribbon was x.

Now, she cuts 9 pieces of same length L which means total length is 9L.

Now, doing the same she was left with 5 inches of ribbon. Hence, we have

[tex[9L+5=x.....(1)[/tex]

Similarly, we can write a equation for the second situation.

2L+40=x......(2)

From equation 1 and 2,

9L+5=2L+40\\\\7L=35\\\\L=5

Plugging this value in equation 1,

9(5)+5=x\\\\x=45+5\\x=50

Therefore, the length of each ribbon when she bought them was 50 inches.

12. Find the value of x.<br> HELP PLS HELP
xenn [34]

Answer:

x = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

 SR = ST ⇒ Two sides are equal. So, ΔSRT is an isosceles triangle.

The angles opposite to equal sides are equal.

  ⇒  ∠STR  = ∠R

       ∠STR = 4x - 28

Linear pair: If a ray stands on a line, then the adjacent angles are supplementary and they are called linear pair

∠STR + ∠STU = 180°    {linear pair}

4x - 28 + 9x = 180

4x + 9x - 28  = 180      {Combine like terms}

       13x- 28 = 180

Add 28 to both the sides

          13x    = 180 + 28

           13x  = 208

Divide both sides by 13

              x = 208/13

  \sf \boxed{x = 16}
