Answer:
54
Step-by-step explanation:
3x -(7-x) = 29 remove the parens
3x - 7 + x = 29 simplify
4x -7 = 29 add 7 to both sides of the equation
4x = 36 divide by
x = 9
then 6x = 6 * 9 = 54
Answer: 112 pieces
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Rewrite
as a decimal. Divide the numerator and the denominator of the fractional part and add it to the integer part:

2. You know that each metal rod is 15 inches long. Then, you must divide the lenght of each one by 3.6:

3. The waste is 0.16, therefore, you obtain 4 pieces from a metal rod. The total pieces obtained from 28 metal rods are:

Show the graphs so we can see
4 is the proportion because 8 + 4 is 12 then keep adding 12 + 4 = 16 + 4 = 20 So that mean it is proportional I hope that helps.
