Answer:

The lengths are 17 in and 33 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the length of the shorter piece

x +x +16=50

2x = 50-16

2x= 34

x= 17

and

x + 16 = 17+ 16

x + 16 = 33

The lengths are 17 in and 33 in.

Check your answer:

17+33=50

Let x = the length of the shorter piece
x+x+16=50in
2x=50-16
2x=34
x=17

Then

x+16=17+16
x+16=33
Subtract 16 from both sides

The lengths are 17in and 33in

Help please asap!! will mark correct answer first brainliest! 25 POINTS.. FIRST SOLVE THE QUESTION WITH THE PICTURE THAN THE ONE
NemiM [27]

1. Eyeballing the data, the best fit will be pretty close to a line between the leftmost point and the rightmost point.

We estimate those points as (4,220) and (28,470)

The point point form for a line joining (a,b) and (c,d) is

(c-a)(y-b) = (d-b)(x-a)

(28 - 4)(y - 220) = (470 - 220)(x - 4)

24(y - 220) = 250(x-4)

24y - 5280 = 250x - 1000

24y = 250 x + 4280

y = (250/24) x+ (4280/24)

Approximately that's,

y = 10.4 x + 178

Answer: 4th choice, 10.4x + 180

2. For 48 wheelbarrows,

y = 10.4(48)+180 = 679.2

Answer: 679.2 liters of sand
