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.

ANYONE GOOD IN MATH TRANSLATIONS??​
Bumek [7]

Answer:

(x, y ) → (x + 2, y - 4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Compare the coordinates of 2 corresponding points in the original and the image, that is

B(- 5, 4 ) → B'(- 3, 0 )

To translate from B → B'

We require a shift of 2 units right in the x direction and 4 units down in the y direction, that is

(x, y ) → (x + 2, y - 4 ) ← translation rule

If the present value of an item is P
lisov135 [29]

inflation means, the same item costs more however is the same item, so if a tomato in January 1st costs $1 and by December 31st it costs $2, the price went up by twice, however is same tomato, it didn't become twice as large, anyhow, inflation eats away value and thus is a Decay case.

\qquad \textit{Amount for Exponential Decay} \\\\ A=P(1 - r)^t\qquad \begin{cases} A=\textit{current amount}\\ P=\textit{initial amount}\dotfill &100\\ r=rate\to 4\%\to \frac{4}{100}\dotfill &0.04\\ t=\textit{elapsed time}\dotfill &15\\ \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=100(1 - 0.04)^{15}\implies A=100(0.96)^{15}\implies A\approx 54.21

Use the distributive property and then combine like terms to simplify this expression: 9x + 5(x + 4)
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

14x+20

Step-by-step explanation:

9x + 5(x + 4)

Apply the Distributive Property:

9x+5(x+4)=9x+5x+20

9x+5x+20

Combine Like Terms:

The like terms are 9x and 5x.

9+5=14

9x+5x+20=14x+20

The simplified equation is: 14x+20
