The first piece is 9 feet and the second piece is 21 feet. Explanation:

We know that a 30 foot board is cut into two pieces and that the second piece is three feet longer than twice the first piece.

Let the first piece = x

Let the second piece = 2x + 3

x + 2x + 3 = 30

Combine like terms

3x + 3 = 30

Subtract 3 from both sides

3x = 27

Divide 3 from both sides and we get:

x = 9

The first piece is 9 feet and now we need to find the second piece.

We can use the first piece to find the second piece.

Substitute 9 for x:

2(9) + 3

18 + 3 = 21

So the second piece is 21 feet.

21 + 9 = 30 feet

Find the 16th term for the sequence a(n)=7-2n.
N76 [4]
In the expression that you are given, n is the is number in the sequence. So in this scenario, n=16. So substitute the 16 into the equation. a(n)=7-2(16)=7-32=-25. So the 16th term in the sequence is -25.

Find a value for b so that the polynomial x^2+ bx + 25 factors to (x + 5)^2.
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

10 = b

Step-by-step explanation:

Begin by expanding (x + 5)^2

(x + 5)(x + 5)

First: x*x = x^2

Outside: x *  5 (the last term which is a 5)

Inside: 5+ x

Last:  5*5 = 25

x^2 + 5x + 5x + 25

x^3 + 10x + 25
