"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
What is your question about that?
Answer: option d. the argument is valid by the law of detachment.
The law of detachment consists in make a conlcusion in this way:
Premise 1) a => b
Premise 2) a is true
Conclusion: Then, b is true
Note: the order of the premises 1 and 2 does not modifiy the argument.
IN this case:
Premise 1) angle > 90 => obtuse
Premise 2) angle = 102 [i.e. it is true that angle > 90]]
Conclusion: it is true that angle is obtuse
Just multiply both dimensions by 2 to make it into centimeters.
Therefore,
4*2 x 5*2 (in inches) will be:
8cm x 10cm (in centimeters)
We conclude that the dimensions of her postcard into a graphic on her web page will be 8x10 in centimeter units.
