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.

egoroff_w [7]

A. Constant of proportionality in this proportional relationship is; k=5

B. Equation to represent this proportional relationship is : c=t/k

Step-by-step explanation:

A.Given that : the amount she pays each month for international text messages is proportional to the number of international texts she sends, then

$3.20 k = 16  ---------where k is the constant of proportionality

k= 16/3.20 =5

k=5

B. Let c be the cost of sending the texts per month and t be the number of texts sent per month , so

c=t/k

c=t/5 ---------- is the proportionality relationship.

For t=16 , c= 16/5 =$3.20

What is the answer X=-2(6+4)
Digiron [165]

Answer:

X = -20

Step-by-step explanation:

X = -2(6+4)

            ^ add 6 and 4 together first because they are in parentheses

-2(10)

   ^ this parenthesis means you want to multiply -2 and 10

because 2 x 10 = 20

that must mean -2 x 10 = -20

therefore, the value of X is -20

X= -20
