X + 3x + 4x = 56
8x = 56
x = 7

The shortest piece is 7 inches
The middle piece is 7*3 = 21 inches.
The longest piece is 4*7 = 28 inches

Check
7 + 21 + 28 = 56 It does check and the lengths are correct.

Brian needs to find the value of a number, a, so that when (x^2+3x) is added to the binomial (3x^2+ax), the sum simplifies to 4x
Julli [10]

Answer:

a = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to add  (x^2+3x)  to (3x^2+ax),

(x^2+3x)+(3x^2+ax)

Expand

= x^2+3x+3x^2+ax

Collect the like terms

= x^2+3x^2+3x+ax

= 4x^2 + 3x + ax

= 4x^2+(3+a)x

Equate the solution to 4x^2+12x

4x^2+(3+a)x = 4x^2+12x

Comparing the like terms on both sides

(3+a)x =12x

3 + a = 12

a = 12 - 3

a = 9

Hence the value of a is 9
