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

Graph the piecewise-defined function
astraxan [27]

Start by graphing y = |x|. Its vertex is at (0,0), and the graph opens up.

Now translate the entire graph 4 units up. The new vertex will be at (0,4). Draw an empty circle around this point.

Darken the graph of y = |x|+4 ONLY for the part which is left of the y-axis.

Now plot a dark dot at (0,4). Draw a dark, horiz. line from that dot to the right.

That's it!
