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)

Give a brief explanation as to what kind of solution you expect for the linear equation 18x +1/2 equals 6(3x +25). Transform the

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

there cannot be any solution of the given linear equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

i) the linear equation of 18x + $\frac{1}{2}$ = 6(3x + 25)

ii) transforming the equation to a simpler form we get

18x + $\frac{1}{2}$ = 18x + 150 which implies that $\frac{1}{2}$ = 150 which is not true.

iii) therefore there cannot be any solution of the given linear equation.
