Answer:

First piece = 6 inches

Second piece = 12 inches

Third piece = 18 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the first piece = x

Length of the second piece = 2x

Length of the third piece = 3x

Total length is 36 inches:

x + 2x + 3x = 36

6x = 36

x = 6

Therefore, the lengths are:

First piece = 6 inches

Second piece = 12 inches

Third piece = 18 inches

Select all of the following graphs which represent y as a function of x
Elden [556K]
A, B, D, and E are correct.

What makes these a function and the others not is that for each x value, there is only one y value. For C, for example, there are multiple y values for the x value of -2. The same goes for F.

<span>Chris' average speed is 3.5mph: Lets take Chris' brother speed = B then Chris speed = (B+ 1) mph-------given in the question and: The average speed for covering 18 miles= chris' average speed + his brother's average speed = (B+ 1) + B since Speed = Distance covered / time taken then average speed for 18 miles can also be found by: 18 miles/3 hours = 6 miles per hour then we have; (B+ 1) + B = 6mph (B +1) = (6-B) B+B = 6-1=5 2B=5 B=5/2=2.5 mph (this is Chris' brother average speed) Hence Chris' average speed is = B+1= 2.5+1= 3.5mph</span>
