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

explain why multiplying the numerator and denominator of a fraction by the same number results in an equivalent fraction
Tomtit [17]
Think:  You're treating the numerator and the denom. in precisely the same way.  In doing so you are NOT changing the value of the fraction, only the appearance.

Example:  start with 2/3.  Mult num. and den. both by 7:  14/21.

2/3 and 14/21 result in precisely the same decimal fraction, showing that the latter set of fractions is equivalent to the former set.

Find the values of x and y.
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

C, (x = 100, y = 10)

Step-by-step explanation:

hi again,

(2x - 70) = (x + 30), by the Alternate Exterior Angles

x - 70 = 30

<em>x = 100</em>

<em />

(2x - 70) + 5y = 180, by the Linear Pair Theorem

2(100) - 70 + 5y = 180

200 - 70 + 5y = 180

130 + 5y = 180

5y = 50

<em>y = 10</em>
