Answer:

2 and 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be length of the small piece and y the length of the big one.

● y = 5x

Since the big piece is 5 times longer than the short one.

The total length is 12 ft

● y + x = 12

● 5x + x = 12

● 6x = 12

Divide both sides by 6

● 6x/6 = 12/6

● x = 2

So the length of the two pieces are 2 ft and 10 ft (5×2)

We can't answer the question, you haven't given us the information, we need to know what the x is here, or if they gave you a value.

Can someone solve these please using the formula AB | a - b |<br><br> And can you show work
Lana71 [14]

Answer: 1) AC = 13

The formua does not actually apply to all of the problems.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The absolute value of -8 is added to the absolute value of 5. 8+5=13

2) Subtract the length of the EF from EG to get the length of FG 21 -6 = 15

3) Take what's given and create an equation to solve. 4x + 15 +39 =110. 4x = 110 - (15+39).

4x =110-54. 4x =56. x=56/4. x=14

4) Create another equation. You have two segments that add up to the length of EG, given =23

EF+FG=EG

(2x-12)+(3x-15)=23

5x - 27 = 23

5x= 23+27 5x =50. x = 10

Substitute 10 for x

EF=2(10) -12 EF=8

FG=3(10)-15. FG=15

EF+FG =EG.

8 + 15 = 23

5) 2/5 of 25 is 10 So EF is 10. Subtract from 25 to get FG

FG = 15

I hope this helps you.
