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

Which one is the intersection point of
Debora [2.8K]

Answer: C) (1,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>The intersection point is where f(x) = g(x)</em>

x³ + 3x = x² + 3

x³ - x² +3x - 3 = 0

  • A. (0, 0) → x = 0 → (0)³ - (0)² +3(0) - 3 = -3 ≠ 0
  • B. (0, 3) → x = 0 → (0)³ - (0)² +3(0) - 3 = -3 ≠ 0
  • <u>C. (1, 4) → x = 1 → (1)³ - (1)² +3(1) - 3 = 0 + 0 = 0</u>
  • D. (-1, 4) → x = -1 → (-1)³ - (-1)² +3(-1) - 3 = 0 - 3 - 3 = -6 ≠ 0

Write the point-slope form of the line that passes through (6, 1) and is parallel to a line with a slope of -3.
pochemuha
Point-slope form : y-y₁=m(x-x₁)

Passes through (6, 1) and parallel to a line with slope of -3.

Simply plug everything in.

*m =slope

y - y₁=m(x-x₁)

y - 1 = -3(x - 6)

Simplify.

y - 1 = -3x + 18

Add 1 to both sides.

y = -3x + 19

Answer:

The answer would be X=24

Step-by-step explanation:

Y is multiplied by 3 to get the answer 30. Because they are varied directly you have to multiply the 8 by 3 to get your answer!
