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.
Answer:
25x + 50y <= 500
Step-by-step explanation:
(-20 - 10) / (-12 - (-10))
-30 / -2
30/2
now the midpoint would be half the two points
30/2 ÷ 2/2 = 15/1
So add 15 to -20 (or subtract 15 from 10) for the y, and add 1 to -12 (or subtract 1 from -10) for the x.
