You are going to make three shelves for your father and have one piece of lumber 20 feet long. Your plan is to make the top shel

f half a foot shorter than the middle shelf and to have the bottom shelf half a foot shorter than twice the length of the top shelf. How long is each shelf? t= length of the top shelf t=m-1/2 m = length of middle shelf b = length of bottom shelf. B=2t-1/2 t+m+b=20

Answer:

The top shelf is 5 feet, the middle shelf is 5.5 feet and the bottom shelf is 9.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t= length of the top shelf, m = length of middle shelf and b = length of bottom shelf.

Therefore:

t = m - 1/2; m = t  + 1/2

Also, b = 2t - 1/2

The total of the three shelves is 20 feet, therefore:

t + m + b = 20

Substituting:

t + t + 1/2 + 2t - 1/2 = 20

4t = 20

t = 20/4

t = 5 feet

m = t + 1/2 = 5 + 1/2 = 5.5 feet

b = 2t - 1/2 = 2(5) - 1/2 = 9.5 feet

The top shelf is 5 feet, the middle shelf is 5.5 feet and the bottom shelf is 9.5 feet

Choose the equation below that represents the line passing through the point (1, −4) with a slope of one half . (1 point)
bixtya [17]
3rd one
Reason: 
Point slope formula: y-y1=m(x-x1) 
y1=-4
x1=1
m=1/2
Put it all together and you get a final answer of:
y-(-4)=1/2(x-1)
two negatives make one positive
so, 
final answer:y+4=1/2(x-1)
