A stick l feet long is broken into two parts, one of which is twice as long as the other. How long is the shorter piece?

Well, you really need to think on this one. The shorter piece can be four inches long. See, when you multiply four by two, you get eight. And when you add four and eight together, you get twelve inches, which is one foot.

The stick is L feet long

the2 pieces aer x and y
x=2y
x+y=L
sub 2y for x
2y+y=L
3y=L
divide by 3
y=L/3

the shorter piece is L/3 feet long if the original stick is L feet long

For each of the equations below, solve for y in terms of x. !<br> a. 2x – 3y = 12

Answer:

$\large\boxed{y=\dfrac{2}{3}x-4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$2x-3y=12\qquad\text{subtract}\ 2x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\2x-2x-3y=12-2x\\\\-3y=12-2x\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-3)}\\\\\dfrac{-3y}{-3}=\dfrac{12}{-3}+\dfrac{-2x}{-3}\\\\y=-4+\dfrac{2}{3}x$

One point on the trend line is 200,6 using this point and the y-intercept find the slope of the trend line.

Marina CMI [18]

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula (Y2 - Y1)/(X2 - X1) to find the slope between two points

We'll make Point 1 (which is X1 and Y1) the Y-intercept so

X1, Y1 = (0, 5.00)

And we'll make Point 2 (which is X2 and Y2) the point on the trend line

X2, Y2 = (200, 6.00)

Plug into the formula:

(6.00 - 5.00)/(200 - 0)

= 1/200 or 0.005

Slope: 1/200 or 0.005

Bx=-7 How do I solve?

balu736 [363]

To solve for x
bx=-7
divide b on both sides
x=-7/b

to solve for b
bx=-7
divide x on both sides
b=-7/x
