HELP PLEASE! Robert needs to cut four shelves from a board that is 2.5 meters long. The second shelf is 18 centimeters longer th

an twice the length of the first shelf. The third shelf is 12 centimeters shorter than the first shelf. The remaining shelf is 4 centimeters longer than the first shelf. If Robert must use the entire 2.5 meter board for the shelves, what is the length of the second shelf?

Let us assume the length of the first shelf = x
Then
The length of the second shelf = 2x + 18
Length of the third shelf = x -12
Length of the fourth shelf = x + 4
The total length of the board = 2.5 meters.
                                              = ( 2.5 * 100) cm
                                               = 250 cm
Then we can write the equation as
x + 2x + 18 + x - 12 + x + 4 = 250
5x + 10 = 250
After dividing both sides of the equation by 5 we get
x + 2 = 50
x = 50 - 2
   = 48
Then
The length of the second shelf = 2x + 18
                                                 = 2(48) + 18
                                                 = 96 + 18
                                                 = 116
So the length of the second shelf is 116 cm.

I need help plsssss...........

Answer:

<h2>A)x=3/2 y=½</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>to understand this</h3><h3>you need to know about:</h3>
  • system of linear equation
  • PEMDAS
<h3>let's solve:</h3>
  • since y is equal to both equation therefore we can substitute the value of y into the other equation
  1. \sf substitute \: the \: value \: of \: y :  \\  \sf  - x + 2 = 3x - 4
  2. \sf add \: x \: to \: both \: sides :  \\  \sf  - x + x + 2 = 3x + x - 4 \\  \sf 4x - 4 = 2
  3. \sf add \: 4 \: to \: both \: sides :  \\  \sf xx - 4 + 4 = 2 + 4 \\ 4x = 6
  4. \sf divide \: both \: sides \: by \: 4 :  \\  \frac{4x}{4}  =  \frac{6}{4}  \\ x =  \frac{3}{2}

let's figure out y

  1. substitute the got value of x into the second equation: y=3*3/2 -4
  2. simplify multiplication:9/2 -4
  3. simplify division:4.5-4
  4. substract:0.5 alternate form:y=½

How could the distance formula and slope be used to classify triangles and quadrilaterals in the coordinate plane?
S_A_V [24]

~ Use the distance formula to measure the lengths of the sides.

~ Use the slope to check whether sides are perpendicular and form right angles.

~ Use the slope to check whether the diagonals are perpendicular to each.

I hope this helps ^-^
