To answer the question above, let x be the shorter one of the pieces. With the variable, we can express the longer piece as 2x + 3. Based on the given, the sum of the lengths of these pieces should sum up to 14 ft.
2x + 3 + x = 14 ft, x = 3 2/3 ft
Substituting this value for the longer piece, we get 10 1/3 ft. Thus, the lengths of the pieces are 3 2/3 ft and 10 1/3 ft.
Answer:
1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation given to you is in y=mx+b form.
m is the slope which in this case would be 2/9.
b is the y-intercept which in this case would be 1/3
In order to find the amount left after both sisters ate the cereal, we have to add the amount of cereal the two sisters ate.
Katrina ate 1 3/4 and her sister ate 7/8.
(1 3/4 + 7/8)
(you put a parentheses around it so that you add the two first before subtracting it from the original amount)
Then, we would subtract it from the original amount: 12 1/2.
-> The equation would be: 12 1/2 - (1 3/4 - 7/8).
