Answer:

33 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The question above can be solved by using "algebraic expressions."

Let x be the length of the shorter piece.

Let 2x be the length of the longer piece.

Let's solve.

x + 2x = 99 (inches)
3x = 99

x = $\frac{99}{3}$

x = 33

The length of the shorter piece is 33 inches.

Let's get the length of the longer piece.

2x = ?
2(33) = 66

The length of the longer piece is 66 inches.

Let's check.

x + 2x = 99 inches

33 + 66 = 99

99 = 99

The answer is correct.

PLS HELP ME ASAP! The height and width of a rectangular prism are 26 yards and 24 yards respectively. Find the length of the

Allushta [10]

Answer:

The length is 30 cubic yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find volume you use equation V=LxWxH

Since we already know the height, width, and volume we can input them into the equation.

18,720=L x 24 x 26

As you can see, the length is still unknown.

To figure it out though, you can multiply the height and width of the prism,

24 x 26 = 624

And then divide the volume, 18,720 by it.

18,720/624 = 30

Thus, your length is 30 cubic yards.

Two consecutive odd integers are such that one-third the smaller is greater than one-seventh of the larger one by 6. Find the nu

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

the number is 33 and 35 respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Let us assume X and X + 2 are the two consecutive odd integers

Now the equation is

(X ÷ 3) = ((X + 2) ÷ 7) + 6

(X ÷ 3) = (X + 2 + 6 × 7) ÷ 7

(X ÷ 3) = (X + 2 + 42) ÷ 7

(X ÷ 3) = (X + 44) ÷ 7

Now do the cross multiplication

7X = 3(X + 44)

7X = 3X + 132

4X = 132

X = 33

And, X + 2 = 33 + 2 = 35

hence, the number is 33 and 35 respectively
