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 sum of the perimeters of 2 different squares is 68 feet, and the difference between their perimeters is 12 feet. What is the
True [87]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • 10 ft
  • 7 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The side lengths are 1/4 of the perimeter, so we can say ...

  the sum of side lengths is 68 ft/4 = 17 ft

  the difference of side lengths is 12 ft/4 = 3 ft

Using x to represent the side length of the smaller square, we have ...

  x + (x +3) = 17 . . . . . . the larger square has side length x+3

  2x = 14 . . . . . . . . . subtract 3

  x = 7 . . . . . . . . divide by 2

The side lengths of the squares are 7 feet and 10 feet.

2/3(5x-6)=6 solve for x
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

There's many ways you can begin this, I prefer getting rid of the fraction first.

Multiply both sides by 3/2 (yes, I switched it on purpose)

You get. . .

5x-6 = 9

To isolate the 5x, add 6 to both sides

5x = 15

Divide both sides by 5 and you get . . .

x=3

What is the radius, in centimeters, of a circle that has a circumference of 161 centimeters?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

25.63694268 = r

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference is

C = 2*pi*r

161 = 2*(3.14) *r

161 = 6.28 r

Divide each side by 6.28

161/6.28 = r

25.63694268 = r
