Answer:

The pieces are 55 inches, 55 inches and 46 inches long

Step-by-step explanation:

A 13ft board is to be cut into three pieces consisting of two equal length ones. The third one is 9in shorter than each of the other two.

Let us first convert the length of the board to inches:

1 ft = 12 inches

13 ft = 12 * 13 = 156 inches

Let the length of each of the other two pieces be x.

Therefore, the length of the third piece is (x - 9)

Therefore, the sum of the lengths of the three pieces is equal to 156 inches. This means that:

x + x + (x - 9) = 156

x + x + x - 9 = 156

=> 3x = 156 + 9

3x = 165

x = 165 / 3 = 55 inches

Each of the first two pieces are 55 inches long.

The length of the third piece will be:

55 - 9 = 46 inches

The pieces are 55 inches, 55 inches and 46 inches long.

In this problem, two binomials are being multiplied.


First, you see the First terms multiplied together, x^2 and -5x^2.

Then you see the Outside terms multiplied together, x^2 and x.

Next, you see the Inside terms multiplied together, -2 and -5x^2.

Finally, the Last terms are multiplied together, -2 and x.


Put together the bold letters above and you spell FOIL.


FOIL is a way to remember how to multiply two binomials.

F - multiply the First terms.

O - multiply the Outside terms.

I - multiply the Inside terms.

L - multiply the Last terms.


In general, to multiply to binomials


(a + b)(c + d) =


F: ac

O: ad

I: bc

L: bd


= ac + ad + bc + bd


Answer: Choice A. FOIL
