A set of shelves fits an attic room with one sloping wall. the left edges of the shelves line up vertically, and the right edges

line up along the sloping wall. the shortest shelf is 32 in. long, and the longest is 40 in. long. given that the three shelves are equally spaced vertically, what total length of shelving is needed?

108 inches of shelving is needed in total. This is because the shelves form a trapezoid. The short shelf + the longest shelf (32 + 40) = 72 inches. Since the three shelves are equally spaced then that that means the third shelve is the mid-segment of the trapezoid of shelves. The mid-segment is half of the sum of the other two bases which in this case is 36. 72 in. + 36 in.= 108 inches.

3b-14/3b = 5b+2/3b <br> b= ?
WINSTONCH [101]

First of all, observe that all fractions exist as long as b is not zero.

Multiply both numerator and denominator of the first fraction by 3:

\dfrac{3b-15}{3b}+\dfrac{1}{3b}=\dfrac{5b+2}{3b}

Now all fractions have the same denominator. Under the assumption that b is not zero, multiply both sides by 3b:

3b-15+1=5b+2 \iff 3b-14=5b+2

Subtract 3b from both sides:

-14=2b+2

Subtract 2 from both sides:

-16=2b

Divide both sides by 2:

b=-8

Answer:

x = 5.4

Step-by-step explanation:

(This question has already been answered, but both of the incorrect ones were deleted, so for future reference...)

Fig A is a scale image of Fig D. These two quadrilaterals are similar, and thus, the side lengths of corresponding sides are proportional. Set the proportion x/3 = 7.2/4 (you could alternatively write it as x/7.2 = 3/4 but for the simplicity's sake, and assuming anyone who has this problem would already know how to solve proportions like these...)

7.2/4 = 1.8

so

x/3 = 1.8

now multiply both sides by 3 to get x = 5.4
