Define x:
-------------------------------------------
Let the shorter piece be x.
Shorter piece = x
Longer piece = 6x
-------------------------------------------
Construct equation:
-------------------------------------------
x +6x =35
7x = 35
x =5
-------------------------------------------
Find the length:
-------------------------------------------
Shorter length = x = 5 feet
Larger length = 6x = 6(5) = 30 feet
-------------------------------------------
Answer: The shorter piece is 5 feet.

Answer:
a) 1 / 10
b) $15/10 = $1.50
Step-by-step explanation:
The final answer is
y = -2x - 6

Answer: First choice. angle C = angle Z</h3>
Explanation:
AC = XZ shows that the horizontal pieces are congruent. This is the "S" of "ASA" as it stands for the pair of congruent sides. We are also given angle A = angle X. This is one of the "A"s in "ASA" as it stands for pair of congruent angles.
What we're missing is the other pair of angles. We must pick C and Z because they help sandwich the two sides mentioned above. ASA has the two angles surrounding the sides; or the sides are between the angles. We can't pick B and Y, unless we were doing AAS which is a similar related idea. The order matters when it comes to ASA and AAS. However, AAS is the same as SAA.
