Answer:

423

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by setting up a formula.

x = the shorter piece

total = 1313

longer piece = (x*2) + 44

x + (x*2) + 44 = 1313

Simplify

3x + 44 = 1313

Now we must solve for x.

Whatever you do on the left side of the equal sign must also be done on the right.

The goal is to get x by itself on the left side.

Do the easiest thing first, which is usually addition or subtraction. In this case, subtract 44 from both sides.

3x + 44 - 44 = 1313 - 44

3x = 1269

Now the only way to cancel out the 3 on the left is to divide by 3. Since 3/3 =1. Remember this must be done on both sides to keep things equal.

3x/3 = 1269/3

x=423

The End

Nikolay [14]
An ??????


Well to figure this out, we will use mathematics. You do 90% of the an and then do 39 which is close to 90 and then because it has 9 in the number that is given. So, 213 is incorrect. 90% of the things like 213, = 39. And if it equals 39, then here comes 90. 90 comes in as a number to help, but 213 does to. So we will divide the number 9. 9 = 2, and since 213 has the first digit 2 in the number, that means that the answer is An number that equals 2 is the common side of two consecutive angles in a polygon.

Which is the graph of y = sqrt x-3
Greeley [361]
<h3>Answer: Choice B</h3>

The parent function y = sqrt(x) has the point (0,0) on it. When we subtract 3, we get y = sqrt(x)-3 which moves the point (0,0) three units down to get to (0,-3)

So (0,-3) is one point on y = sqrt(x)-3

Maria and Edwin have $23.00 each to spend at a book fair, where all students receive a 25% discount. They both want to purchase
KIM [24]

The way Maria calculates the final price of the book is correct. We know that the book normally sells for $26.50 plus a 10% sales tax. We also know that the students will receive an additional 25% discount. We must understand that the sales tax is applied to the discounted price. So first we will calculate 25% of 26.50 and subtract it from that amount. So the price will then be: (26.50 - 6.625). The price is now $18.34. Then to calculate the tax, it will be (10% * 18.34), so 1.834. We add this amount to the discounted price so: (18.34+1.834) = 20.12.


The final price of the book is $20.12 and Maria can get it and still save a little money
