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

Use substitution to solve the system.<br> -5x + 3y = 19<br> x = 3y - 11
telo118 [61]

Answer:

x = -2

y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x + 3y = 19

x = 3y - 11

-5x + 3y = 19

-5(3y - 11) + 3y = 19

-15y + 55 + 3y = 19

-15y + 3y + 55 = 19

-12y + 55 = 19

-12y = 19 - 55

-12y = -36

y = -36/-12

<u>y = 3</u>

x = 3y - 11

x = 3(3) - 11

x = 9 - 11

<u>x = -2</u>

Gala2k [10]
Use the formula   i = p*r*t.

Here, p = $100000, r = 0.05 and t = 1 (year)

The interest would be   i = $100000*0.05*1 = $5000 per year.
