Answer:

The length of the shorter piece = 3 ft

The length of the longer piece = 10 ft  

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question;

  • Total length of the string is 13 ft
  • Longer piece is 4ft longer than twice the shorter piece;

Therefore;

  • Assuming the shorter piece is x ft
  • Then, the longer piece will be (2x + 4) ft

Thus;

Longer piece + shorter piece = 13 ft

x ft + (2x + 4) ft = 13 ft

3x + 4 = 13

3x = 9

 x = 3 ft  and

2x + 4 = 10 ft

Therefore;

The length of the shorter piece = 3 ft

The length of the longer piece = 10 ft

A teacher plans to buy air fresheners that cost $3.50 each. If the teacher can spend no more than $10 on the air fresheners and
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to create an equation to represent how many air fresheners the teacher can buy.

Teacher has $10 and a $3 discount coupon which would give her an extra $3 to spend. Each air freshener is $3.50.

x = number of air fresheners

($10 + $3) / $3.50 = x        can be written as $13/$3.50 = x

We add $10 and $3 because that gives us the total amount she has to spend.

We divide by $3.50 because that is the cost of each air freshener. The result is the number of air fresheners she can buy.

In this case.

$13/$3.50 = x

3.71 = x   BUT we can't buy part of an air freshener, so she can purchase 3 air fresheners.

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

sqrt(29)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance between two points, we use the formula

d = sqrt( ( x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2 )

d= sqrt( ( 8-6) ^2 + ( 2-7)^2)

  = sqrt ( 2^2 + (-5)^2)

  = sqrt 4+25)

  = sqrt (29)
