Answer:

Length of Sarah rope    = 6 m

Length of Amanda's rope  = 4 m

Length of Mary's rope  = 7 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of Sarah rope = x

Length of Amanda's rope= x - 2

Length of Mary's rope = (x - 2 ) + 3 = x - 2 + 3 = x + 1

Length of rope = 17 m

x + x - 2 + x + 1 = 17

Combine like terms

x + x + x - 2 + 1 = 17

       3x  - 1 = 17

Add 1 to both sides

3x = 17 + 1

3x = 18

Divide both sides by 3

x = 18/3

x = 6

Length of Sarah rope = x  = 6 m

Length of Amanda's rope= x - 2 = 6 - 2 = 4 m

Length of Mary's rope =   x + 1 = 6 + 1 = 7 m

Sum of three like fractions is 18/11. the first 2 fractions are 1/11 and 9/11. find the third fraction.
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

\frac{8}{11}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the fractions are like, their denominators are 11, then

consider the values that sum to give 18 , that is

1 + 9 + ? = 18

10 + ? = 18 ( subtract 10 from both sides )

? = 8

Then the third fraction is \frac{8}{11}

What is the distance between the points (−5, −9)(−5, −9) and (−5, 13)(−5, 13) ?
krok68 [10]
Distance formula : d = sqrt (x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2
(-5,-9)...x1 = -5, and y1 = -9
(-5,13)...x2 = -5 and y2 = 13
now we sub and solve
d = sqrt (-5 - (-5)^2 + (13 - (-9)^2
d = sqrt (-5 + 5)^2 + (13 + 9)^2
d = sqrt (0^2 + 22^2)
d = sqrt (484)
d = 22 <==
