Answer:

The combined length is 61 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find out the combined length of all the pieces Meg measured, multiply each measure by the number of pieces and then sum all the values

Let

x -----> the combined length

we know that

we have

1 piece of 3 inches

2 pieces of 5 inches

3 pieces of 6 inches

3 piece of 7 inches

1 piece of 9 inches

$x=(1)(3)+ (2)(5)+(3)(6)+(3)(7)+(1)(9)\\x=3+10+18+21+9\\x=61\ in$

therefore

The combined length is 61 inches

I need to show how to find these solutions 1/4 and 3/4 by completing the square!

Answer:

See explanation, and ask for more details if unclear!

Step-by-step explanation:

The perfect square of this equation is $x^2-x+\frac{1}{4}$ , since the square would be $(x-\frac{1}{2})^2$ . 1/4=4/16, meaning that you can set up the equation in the following way:

$(x^2-x+\frac{1}{4})-\frac{1}{16}=0$

$(x-\frac{1}{2})^2=\frac{1}{16}$

Take the square root of both sides:

$x-\frac{1}{2}=\pm \frac{1}{4}$

Add 1/2 to both sides:

$x=\frac{1}{2}\pm \frac{1}{4}=\frac{3}{4}, \frac{1}{4}$ . Hope this helps!

Can somebody please help me with this question?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the first half of the equation-

-8x+3 >/=27

-3 -3

-8x>/=24

divided by -8 on both sides

x</=-3

Now for the second side:

-13x+5>/= 57

-5 -5

-13x>/=52

divide by -13 in both sides

x</=-4

We now have two equations. The answer would be x</=-3 because -4 is also less than three, so it can be simplified down to -3. I know you might not have needed the explanation since it’s just khan academy, but I figured I’d explain it anyway :)
