Answer:

The answer is 22, 25, and 43

Step-by-step explanation:

I divided it by 3 and got 30 2/3 so took off the 2/3 and then took 5 off of one and added it to the longest one and then took 8 off the shortest one and added it to the longest one

<span>One piece is twenty seven inches long. The others are thirty inches, and thirty five inches. Let's say "A" is the shortest piece, and the base for the equation. The next piece is three inches longer, so we have A+3. The longest piece is five inches longer than the second, so we get A+3+5. To solve for "A" we have to simplify. A+(A+3)+(A+3+5)=3A+11. The total length is 92, so 3A+11=92. Subtract 11 from both sides to get "A" by itself: 3A+11+(-11)=92+(-11) to 3A=81. To solve divide both sides by 3: 3AĂ·3=81Ă·3 to A=27. (27)+3=30. (27)+3+5=35. To check, add the sums. 27+30+35=92 : that is a true statement.</span>

What is the solution of the system?
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

(-2, 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

We can simply do this by plugging in all of the coordinates. (I did this in my head quickly, so I know what it is; I'm just going to plug in the correct answer.) The correct answer is (-2, 6), so we're just going to plug them into the simplest equation, which is probably y=-3x. So...

6=-3(-2)

6=6

This answer is correct. If you're unsure about the answer, you can always check in the other equation. So...

3(-2)+2(6)=6

-6+12=6

6=6

Hope this helps and have an amazing day ^^

Umm so I'm confused<br> The question says<br> 5x - 2y = 24<br> x + 2y = 12
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5x-2y=24

x+2y=12

add the two equations

(5x-2y)+(x+2y)=24+12

6x=36

x=6

Plug in x=6 into any of the two equations

5(6)-2y=24

30-2y=24

-6= -2y

y= 3

x=6

y=3

(6,3)
