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.

7 x 5e = 105 <br><br><br>plz help ​
Anon25 [30]

e=3.

So this is how I approached this. Since 7 is being multiplied, I divided both sides by 7 so 105/7 = 15. Then it becomes simple as 5e=15. We divide both sides by 5 and get e=3. Tip: just try isolating the variable and then life is much easier.

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

390 miles

30 mpg means that he gets 30 miles for every gallon.

If he has 13 gallons means that you multiply 30 by 13.

30 * 13 = 390 miles

Find the height of the trapezoid
Mashutka [201]
Write A=h(b1+b2)/2, where A represents the trapezoid's area, b1 represents one of the base lengths, b2 represents the other base length and h represents the height. Rearrange the equation to get h alone. Multiply both sides of the equation by 2 to get. 2A=h(b1+b2).

Write the next four terms of given ap<br> 1/6 , 1/3, 1/2​
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

answer is 2/3,5/6,1 and 7/6.

Step-by-step explanation:

first term(a) =1/6

common difference (d) =t2-t1

=1/3 - 1/6

= 1/6

We know,

tn=a+(n-1)d

= 1/6 +(n-1)*1/6

= 1/6 + 1/6n - 1/6

= 1 /6 n

Now,

t4= (1/6)*4

=2/3

t5=(1/6)*5

=5/6

t6=(1/6)*6

=1

t7=(1/6)*7

=7/6

Therefore, the next four terms are 2/3,5/6,1 and 7/6.
