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 sum of two numbers is negative fifteen, and one number is five less than the other. Using the variables m and n to represent
Likurg_2 [28]

We need to use the variables m and n to represent both numbers.

Their sum must equal -15. Therefore, we can write the next equation:

m + n = -15

If one number is five less than the other, we need to choose one variable and then we can write it in terms of the other variable. Then:

n = m-5

To find the value for each number, we can replace the n equation on the first equation:

m + n = -15

m + (m-5)= -15

Then:

m + m - 5 = -15

2m -5 = -15

Solve the equation for m:

Add both sides 5 units:

2m - 5 +5 = -15+5

2m = -10

Divide both sides by 2:

2m/2 = -10/2

m = -5

Finally, replace the m value on the first equation:

m + n = -15

-5 + n = -15

Then, solve the equation for n:

Add both sides by 5:

-5+5 + n = -15 +5

n = -10

Hence, both numbers are m=-5 and n= -10.

The equations separated by a comma are m + n = -15,n = m-5.

The numbers separated by a comma are -5,-10.

I need to know number six and thank you guys for all the help
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, a very easy way is to count all the rectangles and then count the squares that are shaded and have balloons.

You'll get 7 squares that are shaded and have balloons and 16 rectangles in total.

So the fraction will be \frac{7}{16}

Another simple way is to just multiply \frac{7}{8} and \frac{1}{2}

\frac{7}{8}*\frac{1}{2}=\frac{7}{16}
