Let's say that the shorter piece is x and the longer piece is 5x (because it's 5 times as long). x+5x=72 and 6x=72. Dividing both sides by 6, we get that x=12, and 72-12=the length of the other piece (since there are only 2 pieces)=60
Answer:
<h2>x = -49</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
x - 6 = -55 <em>add 6 to both sides</em>
x - 6 + 6 = -55 + 6
x = -49
The answer is C because u multiply 16.50 and .20
