"31-inch piece of steel is cut into three pieces"

Call the pieces a,b,c

a + b + c = 31

"second piece is twice as long as the first piece"

b = 2a

"third piece is one inch more than seven times the length of the first piece"

c = 1 + 7a

Ok, we have our equations, let's substitute the second and third into the first.

a + 2a + 1 + 7a = 31

10a + 1 = 31

10a = 30

a = 30/10 = 3

b = 2a = 6

c = 1 + 7a = 22

Check: 3 + 6 + 22 = 31, good

Answer: 3 inches, 6 inches, 22 inches

What are the measures of angles M and N?<br> m m m m &lt; M = 119° and m
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

m<M = 113 deg

m<N = 61 deg

Step-by-step explanation:

In an inscribed quadrilateral, opposite angles are supplementary.

m<M + m<K = 180

m<N + m<L = 180

m<M + 67 = 180

m<M = 113

m<N + 119 = 180

m<N = 61

Find out how much flower bouquets there are when it's 1/5.

5/5 = 20

1/5 = 20 ÷ 5 = 4

Since tulips are 1/5 as 5/5 - 4/5 = 1/5, 4 bouquets are tulips.
