Answer:

Length of longer length=132 inches

Length of shorter length=33 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Determine total length of pipe

Total length of pipe=165 inches

Step 2: Derive expression for all the lengths

We can express all these lengths as follows;

L=l1+l2

where;

L=total length

l1=length of longer piece

l2=length of shorter piece

but;

length of longer piece=4×length of shorter piece

replacing;

l1=4l2

replacing;

L=165

l1=4×l2

165=l 2+4 l2

5 l2=165

l2=165/5

l2=33 inches

l1=length of longer length=33×4=132 inches

l2=length of shorter length=33 inches

What do you know about Mexico? 5 sentences
Paul [167]
Mexico could be a nation with no memory and in this way unused all the time. Conventions are strengths of nature, and history is simply a story for excitement, for one cannot learn from it The same histories of debasement, the same stories of achievement, the story of the ones who accomplish enormity somewhere else proliferates.

2x + 3(x +3) + (x + 6)
Volgvan

For this case we must simplify the following expression:

2x + 3 (x + 3) + (x + 6)

We apply distributive property to the terms within parentheses:

2x + 3x + 9 + x + 6 =

We add similar terms:

2x + 3x + x + 9 + 6 =\\6x + 15

Thus, the simplified expression is: 6x + 15

Answer:

6x + 15
