Answer:

Shorter piece= 4 ft, longer piece= 13 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

If shorter piece is x

Longer pc is 2x + 5

Together they make 17 feet

So x + 2x + 5 = 17

3 x + 5 = 17

3x = 17 - 5 = 12

3x = 12

X = 12/ 3 = 4

So shorter pc is 4 feet

Longer pc is 2 x + 5

= (2 x 4) + 5

= 8 + 5 = 13

Given : Two inequality is given to us . The inequality is v + 8 ≤ -4 and v - 6 ≥ 10 .

To Find : To write those two inequality as a compound inequality with integers .

Solution: First inequality given to us is v + 8 ≤ -4 . So let's simplify it ;

⇒ v + 8 ≤ -4 .

⇒ v ≤ -4 - 8.

⇒ v ≤ -12 .

Now , on simplifying the second inequality ,

⇒ v - 6 ≥ 10 .

⇒ v ≥ 10 + 6.

⇒ v ≥ 16 .

Hence the required answer will be :

\Large{\boxed{\red{\bf \blue{\dag} v\leqslant -12 \:\:or\:\:v\geqslant 16}}}

First one implies that v is less than or equal to -12 whereas the second one implies that v is greater than or equal to 16 .

A pail hold 6 3/4 gallon of water. how much is this in cups
Ber [7]
There are 16 cups in 1 gallon so you would have to turn the denominator in the fraction into a 16 meaning you would multiply by 4 (because 4 goes into 16, 4 times). Your new fraction is 12/16. now you do 6 gallons*16 cups and you get 96 cups. Then you add the fraction onto 96 and you would be adding 12. Your final answer is 108 cups in 6 3/4 gallons
