Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The lengths can be found by considering their ratio:
short : long = 1 : 5
The sum of the ratio units is 1+5 = 6, and the sum of the lengths is 144 inches. That means each "ratio unit" stands for (144 in)/6 = 24 inches of length.
The lengths are ...
1 : 5 = 24 in : 120 in
The pieces are 24 inches and 120 inches in length.
__
Equivalently, you can let s represent the shorter length. Then 5s is the longer one, and their total is ...
s +5s = 144
s = 144/6 = 24
5s = 5(24) = 120
The lengths are 24 inches and 120 inches.
We have the equation:
So then we need to distribute -7p to the parentheses:
Then we need to set the equation equal to 0, so we must subtract 21 on both sides:
Then we need to factor this. So we end up with:
This is as much as this can be factored, so <u>we cannot go any further</u>.
