Answer:

The shorter piece is 10 in. and the longer one is 50 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's set the shorter piece to be length x. Then the longer piece is 5x, or 5 times longer than the shorter piece.

Since both pieces combined equals to the length of the entire board, we can set these two lengths equal to it:

x + 5x = 60

And now solve for x:

6x = 60

x = 10 in (length of shorter piece)

Now let's find the length of the longer piece:

Longer = 5x = 5(10) = 50 in.

Can someone help me its urgent:( ??
wariber [46]

Answer:

see the procedure

Step-by-step explanation:

Identify

Let

x ---> the cost of the Xbox one at Walmart

Strategy

we know that

The cost of the Xbox one at Walmart multiplied by 2 plus $50 must be equal to $450

Set up

The algebraic expression that represent this situation is

450=2x+50

Solve

solve for x

450=2x+50

2x=450-50\\2x=400\\x=\$200

Check

substitute the value of x in the equation

450=2(200)+50

450=450 ----> is ok

Answer:

The correct answer is: Option D) 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is:

3(x + 2) + x = 2x + 16

In order to find that which values of x makes the equation true, we have to put each value of x in the equation. When both sides of equations will be equal, that value of x will be true for the equation.

Putting x = 2

3(2 + 2) + 2 = 2(2) + 16\\3(4)+2 = 4+16\\12+2 = 20\\14 \neq 20

Putting x = 3

3(3 + 2) + 3 = 2(3) + 16\\3(5)+3 = 6+16\\17+3 = 22\\20 \neq 22

Putting x=4

3(4+2)+4 = 2(4)+16\\3(6)+4 = 8+16\\18+4 = 24\\22 \neq 24

Putting x = 5

3(5+2)+5 = 2(5)+16\\3(7)+5 = 10+16\\21+5 = 26\\26 = 26

The equation is true for x = 5

Hence,

The correct answer is: Option D) 5

Use slope-intercept form, y = mx + b to find the equation of the line that passes through the points (−6, 1) and (3, 4).
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

y = one-third x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

Slope Formula: m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Step 1: Find slope <em>m</em>

m = (4 - 1)/(3 + 6)

m = 3/9

m = 1/3

y = 1/3x + b

Step 2: Find <em>b</em>

4 = 1/3(3) + b

4 = 1 + b

b = 3

Step 3: Rewrite

y = 1/3x + 3
