Let's use the variable x to represent the length of the first and second pieces.
If the third piece has twice the length of the first and second, its length is 2x.
If the fourth piece has half the length of the first and second, its length is 0.5*x.
Adding all four pieces and equating to 54 inches, we have:

So the length of each piece is:
12 inches, 12 inches, 24 inches and 6 inches.
Lola is incorrect because the width is half of the length as stated before.
This equals: x^3 + 5x^2 - 4x - 20
making the degree 3, the LC 1, and the y-int 20
hope this helps
To solve this problem, you can subtract the sum of 5/12 and 4/9 from 1. To find the sum of 5/12 and 4/9, you need to make them have common denominators.
5/12*3/3=15/36
4/9*4/4=16/36
Now add the two fractions.
15/36+16/36=31/36
Lastly, subtract the sum from 1.
1-31/36=5/36.
