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

The ratio of blue marbles to red marbles in a box is 3 to 2. if there are 12 blue marbles in a box then how many red marbles are
valkas [14]
The answer is: 8 red marbles!

This is because the equation can be written out like this
Blue to red - 3:2
Now it is, blue to red - 12:x

We have to think, what is the difference from the first equation to the second. We know the number 3 times 4 = 12, so we would do the same for the red, 2 times 4=8

If this helped, give me brainliest :)

Find formula for exponential function passing through points (-3,3/8) and (2/12)
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

y = 3 · 2ˣ

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential function is:

y = abˣ

Plug in the points:

⅜ = ab⁻³

12 = ab²

Solve the system of equations.  Start by dividing the second equation by the first:

12 / ⅜ = (ab²) / (ab⁻³)

32 = b⁵

b = 2

Plug into either equation to find a:

a = 3

Therefore:

y = 3 · 2ˣ
