Let's say that the shorter piece is x and the longer piece is 5x (because it's 5 times as long). x+5x=72 and 6x=72. Dividing both sides by 6, we get that x=12, and 72-12=the length of the other piece (since there are only 2 pieces)=60

Dear Mathee2, you can do 1/10+1 8/10≈2 and 1/20+1 19/20≈2. Note: you said fractions, so did you want the fractions to be mixed numbers or improper fractions?

1.5( x + 4) -3 = 4.5 ( x - 2 )
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1.5(x + 4) - 3 = 4.5(x - 2)

1.5x + 6 - 3 = 4.5x - 9

1.5x + 3 = 4.5x - 9

3 + 9 = 4.5x - 1.5x

12 = 3x

12/3 = x

4 = x <======

Please help me Solve -2a -5&gt;3
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

a < -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write out inequality

-2a - 5 > 3

Step 2: Add 5 to both sides

-2a > 8

Step 3: Divide both sides by -2

a < -4

Here, we can see that any value of <em>a </em>less than -4 works. So <em>a</em> could be -124 or -5, or even -1271293587923857 and it would work.

I need geometry help please.
irina1246 [14]

Lets remember the property "alternative-interior angles" when we have parallels lines:

Given two paralles lines, the following is true:

In our question, we have:

We know that the angles J + P + K=180

So, the triangles have all the angles the same, so they are similar by angle-angle-angle, and they have one side congruent, AC=CD, so the triangles are congruents.
