Let one piece be x.

Other piece is 3 times as long = 3x

The sum of both pieces would be equal to 8

x + 3x =  8

4x = 8

x = 8/4

x = 2

The shorter piece is x long.

The shorter piece is 2 feet long.

A box without a top is made from a rectangular piece of cardboard, with dimensions 27 centimeters by 18 centimeters, by cutting
GaryK [48]
By cutting each corner we have that the resulting dimensions are:
 27 - 2x
 18 - 2x
 Height = x
 Therefore, the volume of the box in terms of the variable x, is given by:
 V (x) = (x) * (27-2x) * (18-2x)
 Answer:
 
The volume of the box in terms of x is:
 
(27-x) (18-x) x

The center of the dilation is the origin, and the scale factor is 2.

To find the coordinates of the points under this transformation, it is enough to multiply both coordinates of the points X, Y, and Z by 2.

Take a look at the dilation of point Z. To get to Z', both the x and y coordinate of Z must be multiplied by 2.


So, the coordinates are:

X'(8, 0); Y'(6, 4); Z'(4, -4).

The difference between two positive integers is 3. If the smaller is added to the square of the larger, the sum is 87.
Komok [63]
Let x be larger integer so x-3 is the smaller
so x^2+ x-3 = 87
x^2 +x -90=0 and factor
(x-9)(x+10)=0
x=9 or x=-10 but x must be positive
so x=9 and smaller number is 6
