Twine into three pieces, lets call them x, y and z

The second piece is 7 times as long as the first piece
7x = y
The third piece is 5 feet longer than the first piece
x + 5 = z
The total length of twine is 320 feet
x + y + z = 320

This is a simultaneous equation.
My goal is to make the final equation in terms of x <span>i.e. 5.5x = 320
</span>I choose the final equation because it is the only equation which has a value in it.

We will substitute the first and second equation into the third equation.
7x = y , x + 5 = z
x + y + z = 320
x + (7x) + (x+5) = 320
9x + 5 = 320
9x = 315
x = 35
Now that we know x, we can substitute it into the first and second equation to find x and y
7x = y              =>        7(35) = y      =>   245 = y
x + 5 = z          =>        (35) + 5 = z  =>   40 = z

In summary
>The first piece, x, is 35 feet long
>The second piece, y, is 245 feet long
>The third piece, z, is 40 feet log

4(8x−1) = 19+32x
Fantom [35]

<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

Answer:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4 ( 8x − 1 ) = 19 + 32x

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

4 ( 8x − 1 ) = 19 + 32x

( 4 ) ( 8x ) + ( 4 ) ( −1 ) = 19 + 32x ( Distribute )

32x + −4 = 19 + 32x

32x − 4 = 32x + 19

Step 2: Subtract 32x from both sides.

32x − 4 − 32x = 32x + 19 − 32x

−4 = 19

Step 3: Add 4 to both sides.

−4 + 4 = 19 + 4

0 = 23

Answer:

There are no solutions.

Find the absolute value and the opposite of the integer.
Talja [164]
The absolute value is always non-negative!

So the absolute value of 57 is 57 itself, as it's non-negative (i.e. it's positive or 0).

Opposite value is the number with a different sign: an opposite value of a positive number is negative, so here it will be -57 .

The correct answer is C.
