A 14 foot is cut into two pieces so that one piece is 3 feet longer than twice the shorter piece

1 answer:

3 0

To answer the question above, let x be the shorter one of the pieces. With the variable, we can express the longer piece as 2x + 3. Based on the given, the sum of the lengths of these pieces should sum up to 14 ft.

2x + 3 + x = 14 ft, x = 3 2/3 ft

Substituting this value for the longer piece, we get 10 1/3 ft. Thus, the lengths of the pieces are 3 2/3 ft and 10 1/3 ft.

Which equation has infinitely many solutions? A) 4x + 3 3 = 4x + 5 B) 10x + 8 2 = 5x + 4 C) 8x − 5 3 = 2x − 2 D) 8x − 5 2 = 4x −

Answer: If the left side and the right side of the equation are equal, the equations has infinitely many solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

The options are not clear, so I will give you a general explanation of the procedure you can use to solve this exercise.

The Slope-Intercept form of the equation of a line is the following:

$y=mx+b$

Where "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept.

For this exercise you need to remember that, given a System of Linear equations, if they are exactly the same line, then the System of equations has Infinitely many solutions.

If you have the following system:

$\left \{ {{y=2x+1} \atop {y=\frac{12}{6}x+1}} \right.$
