Answer:

<h2> first piece: 5 in</h2><h2> second piece: 10 in</h2><h2> third piece: 32 in </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

x - the length of the <u>first piec</u>e

2x - twice the length of the first piece (the length of the <u>second piece</u>)

6x - six times the length of the first piece

two inches more:

6x+2 - the length of the <u>third piec</u>e

first + second + third = 47 in {total length of the pieces of steel}

x + 2x + 6x + 2 = 47

9x + 2 = 47

9x = 45

x = 45:9

x = 5 in

first piece: 5 in

second piece: 2×5 = 10 in

third piece: 6×5 + 2 = 30 + 2 = 32 in

Please help, I dont know how to do this

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

$\frac{y-2}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by factoring everything:

$\dfrac{\frac{y^2+y}{y^2-2y}}{\frac{4y+4}{y^2-4y+4}}=$

$\dfrac{\frac{y(y+1)}{y(y-2)}}{\frac{4(y+1)}{(y-2)^2}}=$

Now, you can cancel out some terms:

$\dfrac{\frac{y+1}{y-2}}{\frac{4(y+1)}{(y-2)^2}}=$

Now, when you divide a fraction by another fraction, that is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second one:

$\frac{y+1}{y-2}\cdot \frac{(y-2)^2)}{4(y+1)}=$

$\frac{y-2}{4}$

Hope this helps!

The measure of angle ABD is (0.15x+65) and the measure of angle CBD is(0.1x+28) . Find the value of x.

Andrej [43]

Answer:

x = 348

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of angle ABD is (0.15x+65) and the measure of angle CBD is(0.1x+28) . Find the value of x.

0.15x + 65 + 0.1x + 28 = 180

0.25x + 93 = 180

0.25x = 180 - 93

0.25x = 87

x = 87/0.25

x = 348
