Multiply the first digit by 3 then subtract the answer by 2. Rule: x 3 - 2
A = first piece, b = second piece, c = third piece
a + b + c = 47
b = 3a
c = 5a + 2
a + (3a) + (5a + 2) = 47.....combine like terms
9a + 2 = 47
9a = 47 - 2
9a = 45
a = 45/9
a = 5 ft
b = 3a.....b = 3(5)....b = 15 ft
c = 5a + 2....c = 5(5) + 2.....c = 25 + 2....c = 27 ft
longest piece (c) = 27 ft
Answer:
-15
Step-by-step explanation:
g(x) = 3x + 3
Let x = -6
g(-6) = 3*-6 + 3
= -18 +3
= -15
