Answer:
- 7/4
Step-by-step explanation:
y1 - y2 over x1 - x2 with the points (-3,4) and (1,-3)
-3 - 4 over 1 - (-3) --> -7/ 4
Let's say that the shorter piece is x and the longer piece is 5x (because it's 5 times as long). x+5x=72 and 6x=72. Dividing both sides by 6, we get that x=12, and 72-12=the length of the other piece (since there are only 2 pieces)=60
<span>X= math problems
y= science problems
x +y =42
x= y+10
Substitute: (y+10) + y =42
Combine y: 2y +10=42
Solve for y: y= 16
