Answer: b) 160 c) 1500
Step-by-step explanation: b) 50 + 50 + 30 + 30 = 160 c) 50 x 30 = 1500
"31-inch piece of steel is cut into three pieces"
Call the pieces a,b,c
a + b + c = 31
"second piece is twice as long as the first piece"
b = 2a
"third piece is one inch more than seven times the length of the first piece"
c = 1 + 7a
Ok, we have our equations, let's substitute the second and third into the first.
a + 2a + 1 + 7a = 31
10a + 1 = 31
10a = 30
a = 30/10 = 3
b = 2a = 6
c = 1 + 7a = 22
Check: 3 + 6 + 22 = 31, good
Answer: 3 inches, 6 inches, 22 inches
Answer:
your answer would be X>-4
Answer:
x=9
Step-by-step explanation:
hope this helps i think it's right 60=9x - 21 you add 21 to both sides and get 81 = 9x then divide 81 by 9 and get x=9
-2x+4y=4 Equation 1
x-2y=6 Equation 2
Solving by substitution method.
Isolate x from equation 2.
x=2y+6
Substitute value of x in equation 1
-2(2y+6)+4y=4
-4y-12+4y=4
-12=4
-16=0
Which is false.
Answer: No solution
