The 250 cm board is cut into 5 pieces.
since three short pieces are of equal length, lets name each piece as 'x'
the longer ones are 15 cm longer than shorter ones so we can name them as 'x +15'
the sum of these pieces are 250
x + x + x + (x+15) + (x + 15) = 250
3x + 2x + 30 = 250
5x = 250 - 30
5x = 220
x = 44 cm
length of a short piece - 44 cm
length of long piece - 44 + 15 = 59 cm

Find the slope of the line please help
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug 2 points into the equation y2-y1/x2-x1. In this case, I picked (0,-1) and (1,-1). This will make the equation -1--1/1-0. Simplify this to get 0/1 which is equal to 0. Therefore, the slope is 0.

If this has helped you please mark as brainliest

Make a the subject get a on its own x(a+2)=7
crimeas [40]
X (a + 2) = 7

First let's multiply out the brackets on the left side of the equation.
x (a + 2) --> Multiply everything inside the brackets by x.
xa + 2x = 7

Now, both elements of the left-hand side of the equation contain x, so we can divide both sides of the equation by x.

xa + 2x = 7
    a + 2 = 7/x

To find a now, just subtract 2 from both sides.
a = 7/x - 2
