Answer: Option 'E' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

If the length of one piece of rope is 2.8 meters shorter than the length of the other.

Let the length of first piece be 'x'.

Let the length of second piece be 'x-2.8'

Total length of rope = 20.6

So, According to question, it becomes,

x+x-2.8=20.6\\\\2x=20.6+2.8\\\\2x=23.4\\\\x=\dfrac{23.4}{2}\\\\x=11.7

So, the greatest number of the length of part of rope is 11.7 m.

Hence, Option 'E' is correct.

The first term of an arithmetic sequence is –12 and the ninth
shtirl [24]

Answer:

d = \frac{7}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is

a_{n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Given a₉ = 16 , then

- 12 + 8d = 16 ( add 12 to both sides )

8d = 28 ( divide both sides by 8 )

d = \frac{28}{8} = \frac{7}{2}

maria [59]

Answer:

A  y = 3x

Step-by-step explanation:

We can check each line to see if the point is on it

A  y = 3x  6 = 2*3  6=6  this is true so the point is one the line

B  y = 4-x   6 = 2-4  6 = -2  false

C  y = -3x   6 = -3(2)  6=-6  false

D  y =-x+4   6 = -2+4   6 = 2  false
