Ok so let's start with what we know- the shortest piece is 8 inches so there's one length... then the middle piece is 6 inches longer than the shortest (6+ 8) so the middle piece would be 14 inches long. To find the last piece we can add up the other two pieces we know (14+8) which would be 22 and subtract that from how long the whole sandwich is (59-22) which would be 37 inches long. So in the end he shortest piece would be 8 inches, the middle 14 inches and the longest 37 inches.
Solving for X.
5 = 2x^2 + 3 Subtract 3 from both sides.
2 = 2x^2 Divide by 2 on both sides.
1 = x^2 Take the square root of both sides.
X = 1

Answer:
the number of cookies ordered
Step-by-step explanation:
When an equation is written in the form ...
(left variable) = (some expression involving one or more right variables)
we usually describe the "left variable" as the "dependent variable" and the "one or more right variables" as the "independent variable(s)".
Here, the equation is given as ...
C = 3s + 30
__
This tells you C is the dependent variable, and s is the independent variable. The description also says "C is the number of cookies." Since you know that the dependent variable is the number of cookies, you can answer the question ...
the dependent quantity is the number of cookies ordered. (matches the first choice)
