Answer:

4 1/3 inches   Smaller piece

16 2/3 inches   Larger piece

Step-by-step explanation:

x + (2x + 8) = 21

3x + 8 = 21

3x = 13

x = 13/3

x = 4 1/3 inches   Smaller piece

2x + 8 = 8 2/3 + 8

2x + 8 = 16 2/3 inches   Larger piece

Combine the like terms to create an equivalent expression 5n-2n
inysia [295]

Answer:

The answer is 3n

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the expression has two numbers with the same variable, they are able to be combined.

We will subtract 2n from 5n, so 5n - 2n.

This results us with <u>3n</u>, since 5 - 2 equals 3.

To most closely estimate the difference below, would you round the numbers to the nearest ten thousand, the nearest thousand, or
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

To most closely estimate the difference, I would round 62,980 to the nearest thousand, so it will be 63,000. That is because when rounding, 63,000 is large enough so that adding will be easy, and 62,980 is relatively close to 63,000.

I would round 49,625 to the nearest thousand, since it would make the subtraction easier and 49,625 is only 375 units away from 50,000.

63,000 - 50,000 = about 13,000.

Hope this helps!

16^3x+8^x+6<br><br>Could you please give me the steps as well for this problem? ​
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

16^{3x} = 8^{x+6} \\2^{4(3x)} = 2^{3(x+6)} --> (16 = 2^{4} and 8 = 2^{3} )

2^{12x} = 2^{3x+18}

Since the base number is 2, the exponents must equal each other.

So:

12x = 3x+18

9x = 18

x = 2

If $-2 &lt; x \le 3,$ then find all possible values of $5x + 1.$ Give your answer in interval notation.
kotegsom [21]

Answer: (-9, 16]

This is the interval from -9 to 16. Exclude -9 but include 16.

=====================================================

Work Shown:

The idea is to multiply all sides by 5, then add 1 to all sides

-2 < x \le 3

5(-2) < 5x \le 5(3)

-10 < 5x \le 15

-10+1 < 5x+1 \le 15+1

-9 < 5x+1 \le 16

This converts to the interval notation  (-9, 16]

note: a curved parenthesis means "do not include this value in the solution set"; while a square bracket has us include the value. So we exclude -9 and include 16.
