2 parts.....ratio is 5:3...added = 8.....so one of the parts is 5/8 of the total...5/8x....and the other part is 3/8 of the total...3/8x

the difference is 6...
5/8x - 3/8x = 6
2/8x = 6
x = 6 * 8/2
x = 48/2
x = 24

so the total length is 24
with the longest being : 5/8(24) = 15 <==
and the shortest being : 3/8(24) = 9

Answer:

c=6 They sold a total of 114 cans

A textbook store sold a combined total of 289 sociology and math textbooks in a week. The number of math textbooks sold was 65 l
erica [24]

Answer:

Contradictrion

Step-by-step explanation:

First write an equation. If the total is 289, then that goes one the right side of the =. Sociology textbooks will be x. If there were 65 less than x, it will be 65-x. Lets set it up:

x + 65 -x =289

Then combine like terms.

65 = 289

There are no values of x that make the equation true. The input is a contradiction.
