Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
3 pieces such that each piece is 2 cm longer then the next...
x , x + 2, x + 4
x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 30
3x + 6 = 30
3x = 30 - 6
3x = 24
x = 24/3
x = 8
x + 2 = 8 + 2 = 10
x + 4 = 8 + 4 = 12
check...
8 + 10 + 12 = 30
18 + 12 = 30
30 = 30 (correct)...it checks out
the ribbon lengths are : 8 cm, 10 cm, and 12 cm
16 because 40-12=28 and Samad will be 28 on 16 years. In 16 years his father will be 56 which is double of 28.
Answer:
You have your x and y mixed up
Step-by-step explanation:
Look at your table. You labeled y1 and y2 where the x's are. y2 = 8, y1 = 4, x2 = 12 and x1 = 6. The slope then is (8-4)/(12-6) which is 4/6 or 2/3. You did run over rise instead of rise over run. Be careful. I see that a lot when I teach the concept to beginners.
