140= x +3x
140 =4x
140/4= 4x/4
35= x
3x= 105
The length of the longer piece is 105 feet

Answer:

The length of the longer piece is 35 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the longer piece is x

Hence, length of the shorter piece is 3x

Now, the length of the rope is 140 ft. Thus, we have the equation

x+3x=140

Add the like terms. x+3x=4x

4x=140

Divide both sides by 4

x=35

Therefore, the length of the longer piece is 35 feet.

2(4x - 12) + 3x = 6x + 1<br><br> help!! ahh
Anuta_ua [19.1K]
<span>2(4x - 12) + 3x = 6x + 1

Distribute.

8x - 24 + 3x = 6x + 1

Combine like terms.

11x - 24 = 6x + 1

5x = 25

x = 5

The function g(x) =8(4x) is reflected across the x-axis to create f(x) what is the equation for f(x)
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:f(x)= -8 (4x) will be the reflected function across x-axis for the function g(x).

Explanation:  since we know that the image or reflection of x along x-axis = -x

That is, when we talk about a function's reflection across any axis then we have to replace variable according to that axis. For example if you have a line x=3 in positive x-axis  then you can also draw a similar line x=-3 in negative x-axis. so, you can say, x=-3 is the reflection of x=3 along x axis.

Similarly, for an another line y=3, y=-3 is a reflection.

thus in the case of g(x) we can find the reflection across x-axis after replacing x by -x.  

we have g(x) =8(4x)  

replace x by -x we get g(-x)= 8(4×-x)= 8(-4x)=-8(4x)

so -8(4x) is the reflection of g(x)

but according to the question f(x) is the reflection of g(x) across x-axis.

Thus, f(x)=-8(4x)
