<span>Let's first establish "x" for the first piece of steel. The second one is going to be "2x" and the 3rd piece will be 5x+1. Now we can set ou the equation as:
x+2x+5x+1=25 Combine like terms to get:
8x+1=25 Now subtract 1 from both sides to result in:

</span><span>8x=24 Divide 8 into both sides to get:
x=3 inches for the first one. 
I'll let you figure the lengths of the other 2 pieces.</span><span>

Answer:

A. y = 1.5m + 7

B. at 7 months the baby will weigh 17.5 pounds

C. Since the baby is born weighing 7 pounds, at 0 months he will weigh 7 pounds. This tells us that the y-intercept will be seven. And since the baby is gaining 1.5 pounds every month, this means that the slope will be 1.5 and m will be the x of our y = mx + b equation. For part B, we simply plug in 7 to m and solve by multiplying 1.5 and 7 to get 10.5, then adding 7 to get 17.5.
