<h3>Answer: Short piece is 27 inches</h3>

Long piece is 81 inches

====================================================

Explanation:

x = length of short piece

3x = length of the longer piece (3 times longer)

x+3x = 4x = total length

total length = 108

So 4x = 108 is the equation which solves to x = 27 after dividing both sides by 4.

The short piece is x = 27 inches and the long piece is 3*x = 3*27 = 81 inches. Adding the two pieces gives 27+81 = 108 which helps confirm the answer.

Can u guys help me on number 3??? Plz
Goshia [24]
Well, since 3 cups is 2/5, 1 1/2 cups is 1/5. To get 5/5, or the full value of the water bottle, you must multiply 1 1/2 cups, or 1/5 of the full water bottle, which is 7 1/2 cups, so the answer is 7 1/2 cups.

What is the value of angle 2x + 1 ? A.41 B.50 C.60 D.25<br><br>What is the value for x?
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

41

Step-by-step explanation:

These angles are vertical angles, and vertical angles are equal

2x+1 = 7x-99

Subtract 2x from each side

2x+1-2x = 7x-2x-99

1 = 5x-99

Add 99 to each side

1+99 = 5x-99+99

100 = 5x

Divide each side by

100/5 = 5x/5

20 =x

The 2x+1 angle equals

2(20)+1

40+1

The number of customers on the first day are (6×-3) the number of customers on the second day is (×-1) how many more customers v
EleoNora [17]

The number of customers who visited more on first day = ( 5 x - 2)

<h2>248 more people visited on the first day. </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of customers visiting on first day  = (6 x - 3)

The total number of customers visiting on second day  = (x - 1)

The difference in the number of customers

= Number of customer visiting ( First day - Second Day)

= (6x  - 3) - (x- 1)  = 6 x - 3 - x +  1  = 5 x - 2

So, the number of customers who visited more on first day = ( 5 x - 2)

Now, when x  = 50, ( 5 x - 2) = (5 (50) - 2)  = 250 - 2  = 248

Hence, 248 more people visited on the first day.
