"31-inch piece of steel is cut into three pieces"
Call the pieces a,b,c
a + b + c = 31
"second piece is twice as long as the first piece"
b = 2a
"third piece is one inch more than seven times the length of the first piece"
c = 1 + 7a
Ok, we have our equations, let's substitute the second and third into the first.
a + 2a + 1 + 7a = 31
10a + 1 = 31
10a = 30
a = 30/10 = 3
b = 2a = 6
c = 1 + 7a = 22
Check: 3 + 6 + 22 = 31, good
Answer: 3 inches, 6 inches, 22 inches
Answer:
12 girls
Step-by-step explanation:
multiply 8 by 3/2 to get 12.
The area of a hexagon is
A= a^2 (3√3)/2
we replace a with 4
A=41.57
The band earned $1,200.
1. Subtract the flat fee 1,200-700 =500
2. 500 is what just the band made. Divide that by .16 (16%) to get the total ticket amount... 500 divided by .16 = 3,125
The total ticket amount was $3,125.
