Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call x the length of each piece in yards
If the ribbon is cut into 8 equal pieces then the sum of the pieces is:

Then:

Now we solve the equation for x

Divide both sides of equality by 8


So the length of each piece is
of a yard.
This is: 1.125 yards
Answer:
The system of equations has a one unique solution
Step-by-step explanation:
To quickly determine the number of solutions of a linear system of equations, we need to express each of the equations in slope-intercept form, so we can compare their slopes, and decide:
1) if they intersect at a unique point (when the slopes are different) thus giving a one solution, or
2) if the slopes have the exact same value giving parallel lines (with no intersections, and the y-intercept is different so there is no solution), or
3) if there is an infinite number of solutions (both lines are exactly the same, that is same slope and same y-intercept)
So we write them in slope -intercept form:
First equation:

second equation:

So we see that their slopes are different (for the first one slope = -6, and for the second one slope= -3/2) and then the lines must intercept in a one unique point. Therefore the system of equations has a one unique solution.
The answer is C
1/2(5x + 12)
because the perimeter is equal 20x + 6
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we have the question,
7x+4 = -19 + 5x
Now we add 19 to both sides,
7x + 4 + 19 = -19 + 19 + 5x
7x + 23 = 5x
Now we subtract 7x from both sides,
23 = -2x
We divide -2 from both sides,
x = -23/2
Now we plug this in into 2x - 14,
2(-23/2) - 14 = -23-14 = -37
Our answer is C
