<h3>
Answer: 40 inches</h3>
==========================================================
Explanation:
- x = first piece
- 2x = second piece, since its twice as long as the first
- 5x = third piece, since its five time as long as the first
x is some positive real number, and the units of each are in inches.
Add up the smaller pieces and we should get 64 inches back again
x+2x+5x = 64
8x = 64
x = 64/8
x = 8
The first piece is 8 inches long.
2x = 2*8 = 16 is the length of the second piece (in inches)
The third piece is 40 inches because 5x = 5*8 = 40
--------
Summary:
first = 8 inches
second = 16 inches
third = 40 inches
Check: 8+16+40 = 64, which confirms the answer
Answer:
8.3 (nearest tenth)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
3x+y=8 and 3x+y=9
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume these two equations:
a1x+b1y+c1=0
a2x+b2y+c2=0
If (a1/a2) = (b1/b2) ≠ (c1/c2) than those two would have no solution.
In these case, take a look at the last option:
Re-write 'em as a standard form:
So (a1/a2) = (b1/b2) ≠ (c1/c2) is true here:
And they do not have any collision point
