Answer: the length of Maria's piece of string is 45 inches.

the length of Katy's piece of string is 39 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of Maria's piece of string.

Let y represent the length of Katy's piece of string.

When they put the two pieces of string together end to end, the total length is 84inches. This means that

x + y = 84 - - - - - - - - - - - -1

Maria's string is 6 inches longer than Katy's. This means that

x = y + 6

Substituting x = y + 6 into equation 1, it becomes

y + 6 + y = 84

2y + 6 = 84

2y = 84 - 6 = 78

y = 78/2 = 39

x = y + 6 = 39 + 6

x = 45

Help Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kamila [148]

Answer:

x = 80°

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle on a straight line = 180°

(x + 40)° + (x - 20)° = 180°

x + 40° + x - 20° = 180°

2x + 20° = 180°

2x = 180° - 20°

2x = 160°

x = 160°/2

x = 80°

Check:

(x + 40)° + (x - 20)° = 180°

(80° + 40°) + (80° - 20°) = 180°

120° + 60° = 180°

180° = 180°

If log3⁡⁡(4y−1)=log3⁡⁡(2y+7), what is the value of y?
Slav-nsk [51]
Knowing that there are two logs on both sides of the brackets, they cancel out. 
This leaves: 

4y-1=2y+7 (solve for y) 
4y-2y=7-1
2y=6
y=3 

Hope this helped :)
