Answer:
The length of the board is 60 inches. It's cut into two parts so that the longer piece is 5 times of the shorter part. The equation is formed as under...
Let's assume the shorter part is … x then the longer part is... 5x. The total parts are..
x + 5x = 6x and given that 6x is equal to 60 inches. Therefore...
If 6x = 60 inches then
x = 60/6 = 10 inches and the longer piece is 5x = 5.10 = 50 inches.
The shorter piece is 10 inches long and the length of the longer piece is 50 inches. Answer. Thanks.

Hey there!!
Parallel lines have the same slope. If they have different slope, then they are not parallel because both lines would combine at some point.
The y-intercept form:
<em>y = mx + b </em>
<u>In this equation, 'm' is considered to be the slope. </u>
The equation we have is 6y = -2x + 4
First, let's divide all the sides with 6 to isolate the value of 'y'.
... 6y = -2x + 4
... y = -1/3x + 2/3
<u><em>The slope is -1/3... </em></u>
<u><em>... hence the slope in the other equation should be -1/3. </em></u>
Equation we got...
... 2y = ax - 5
Let's divide by 2 on both sides...
... y = ax/2 - 5
The slope in this a/2
<u><em>Hence, ... </em></u>
<u><em>... a/2 = -1/3 </em></u>
<u><em>... 3a = -2 </em></u>
<u><em>... a = -2/3 </em></u>
<h2><u><em>
Hence, the value of a is -2/3. </em></u></h2><h3><u><em>
Hope my answer helps!</em></u></h3>
First, you have to get rid of the square root and in order to do that you get rid of the radical by going to the power of 2 or "squared"
