Answer: Shortest piece = 16 in.
Middle piece = 18 in.
Longest pice = 36 in.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the length of the shortest piece.
as per given, length of the middle piece = x+2
Length of the longest piece=2(x+2)
Total length = 70 in.
i.e. 

Shortest piece = 16 in.
Middle piece = 18 in.
Longest pice = 2(18) in.
= 36 in.
It’s the same in the sense that 1.5 and -1.5 are the same distance away from 0 - they have he same *absolute value*. It’s different in *where* you look. 1.5 is 1.5 to the *right* of 0, while -1.5 is 1.5 to the *left* of zero.
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
the equations of the lines are y= -1/2x+3(red) and y= -1/2x+4(blue)
rearrange the equations to find a match
1. y= -1/2x+ 4
y= -1/2x+3
2. y= 1/2x+4
y= 1/2x+3
3. y= -1/2x+4
y= -1/2x+3
4. y= -1/2+4
y= 1/2x-3
