Answer:

The smaller board would be 2.75 feet and the longer one would be 10.25 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, assume the shorter board is equal to x. Next, we would know that the longer board would be equal to x + 7.5. Using these two assumptions, we can add the lengths together, set equal to 13 and then solve for x.

x + (x + 7.5) = 13

2x + 7.5 = 13

2x = 5.5

x = 2.75

Now that we have the length of the shorter board, we can add 7.5 to it to get the larger one.

2.75 + 7.5 = 10.25

What is the value of the function at x = 3?<br><br> Enter your answer in the box.
butalik [34]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall a linear function, is a line on a graph made up of an infinite amount of points which satisfy the relationship. That means at x=3 there is a specific point on the line with an output. The value of a function at x=3 asks, what is the output y value for the input x value?

To find it, we locate 3 on the x-axis. We draw a vertical line directly to the line following the grid line. We mark the point on the line. We then draw a horizontal line directly to the y-axis following the grid line. The point we hit on the y-axis is the value of the function.

Here it is 4.

Which system of equation should you use to solve this problem
Alex17521 [72]

Last option is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Let x stand for the solution a and y stand for the solution B

So,

According to statement that

30 gallons have to be made

x+y=30

Solution A contains 29 percent bromine => 0.29x

Solution B contains 53 percent  =>0.53y

And the mixture of 30 gallons contains 45% bromine

0.29x+0.53y=30*0.45\\0.29x+0.53y=13.5

Following equations will be used for solving the problem

x+y = 30\\0.29x+0.53y=13.5

Hence,

Last option is the correct answer.
