Answer:

They are 8, 10 and 12 cm long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the shortest piece be x cm. Then:

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 30

3x + 6 = 30

3x = 24

x = 8.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3 pieces such that each piece is 2 cm longer then the next...

x , x + 2, x + 4

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 30

3x + 6 = 30

3x = 30 - 6

3x = 24

x = 24/3

x = 8

x + 2 = 8 + 2 = 10

x + 4 = 8 + 4 = 12

check...

8 + 10 + 12 = 30

18 + 12 = 30

30 = 30 (correct)...it checks out

the ribbon lengths are : 8 cm, 10 cm, and 12 cm

Evaluate the function f (x)  4 • 7x for x  1 and x = 2. Show your work
SashulF [63]
The function and the first value stated for x are confusing.

Doing some research, I found that the problem is to evaluate the function   f(x)=4.7^x    for x = - 1 and x  2.

The solution is:

1) For x = - 1

f(-1)=4. 7^{-1} =4. (1/7)=4/7

2) For x = 2

f(2)=4.7^2=4(49)=196

How do i solve this
laila [671]
The ratio is 2:3 for the side lengths of the triangles.

so 6:9 is one side and 5:x would be the other side

2/3 of five is 3.33 and multiplying that by 2 gives you 6.67

the number is 57,733 contains two sets of digits in which one digit is ten times as great as the other. what are the values of t
Afina-wow [57]
In 57,733 the values are:

5 is for tens
The first 7 is for ones
The second 7 is for tenths
The first 3 is for hundredths
The second 3 is for thousandths

Two set of digit in which one digit is ten times as great as the other are 3 and 3, as well as 7 and 7

It's because 0,03 is ten times as much as 0,003 and 7 is ten times as much as 0,7.
