X = shorter piece
y = longer piece = 5x
shorter piece + longer piece = 60
x + 5x = 60
6x = 60
x = 60/6
x = 10 in. <== shorter piece
y = 5x
y = 5(10)
y = 50 in. <== longer piece
Answer:
The x-intercept is 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
![2 \sqrt[3]{x - 10} + 4 = 0](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=2%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bx%20-%2010%7D%20%20%2B%204%20%3D%200)
![2 \sqrt[3]{x - 10} = - 4](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=2%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bx%20-%2010%7D%20%20%3D%20%20-%204)
![\sqrt[3]{x - 10 } = - 2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bx%20-%2010%20%7D%20%20%3D%20%20-%202)


The range of communication is about 55 meters.
Please, do not post more than 1 or 2 questions at a time. Out of courtesy I will address one of your six questions here:
<span>2x + 4 = 3(x – 2) + 1
You are to solve this for x.
1) perform the multiplication: </span><span>2x + 4 = 3x - 6 + 1
2) combine like terms: 4+6-1 = x
3) solve for x: x = 11
4) check: Is 2(11) + 4 = 3(11-2) + 1 true?
Is 22+4 = 33-6 true? NO. Try again, looking for the mistake:
</span><span>2x + 4 = 3(x – 2) + 1 => 2x + 4 = 3x - 6 + 1
4 = x - 5
9 = x
Check: Is 2(9) + 4 = 3(9-2) + 1 true? Is 18+4 = 22 true? YES.
The solution to #1 is x = 9 (answer).
Submit your other questions separately, please.

I need the answer too. My brother needs it.
