F=length of first piece=x; S=length of second piece=2x

T=length of third piece=3x

.

F+S+T=24 inches

x+2x+3x=24 inches

6x=24in

F=x=4in

ANSWER 1: The length of the first piece is 4 inches.

.

S=2x=2(4in)=8in

ANSWER 2: The length of the second piece is 8 inches.

.

T=3x=3(4in)=12 inches.

ANSWER 3: The length of the third piece is 12 inches.

.

CHECK:

F+S+T=24in

4in+8in+12in=24in

24in=24in

A truck can be rented from Company A for ​$70 a day plus ​$0.20 per mile. Company B charges ​$20 a day plus ​$0.40 per mile to r
Otrada [13]

Answer:

For Company A to have a better deal, the truck must be driven more than 250 miles per day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Rent per day of company A = $70

Per mile charges = $0.20

Let,

x be the number of miles.

A(x) = 0.20x + 70

Rent per day of company B = $20

Per mile charges = $0.40

B(x) = 0.40x + 20

For make Company A better deal,

A(x) > B(x)

0.20x+70 > 0.40+20

0.20x-0.40x>20-70

-0.20x>-50

Dividing both sides by -0.20

\frac{-0.20x}{-0.20}>\frac{-50}{-0.20}\\x>250

Hence,

For Company A to have a better deal, the truck must be driven more than 250 miles per day.

3[5x - 4] - [-30 - 45x]
Nimfa-mama [501]
3(5x - 4) - (-30-45x)
= 15x - 12 + 30 + 45x <- Distributive Property
=60x + 18 <- Combine Like Terms

If you're trying to solve for 0:

0 = 60 x + 18
-18 = 60x <- Subtracted 18 from both sides
x = \frac{-18}{60} = \frac{-9}{30} <- Divided both sides by 60 and then simplified.

x = \frac{-9}{30} <- Fraction Form
x = -0.3 <- Decimal Form

Graph the line for y+1=−3/5(x−4) on the coordinate plane. Move Line Undo Redo Reset
dsp73

Answer:

The equation of  line is shown below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of line is

y+1=\frac{-3}{5}(x-4)

It is the point slope form of a line, therefore the slope of the line is \frac{-3}{5} and the line passing through (4,-1).

Rewrite the above equation in slope intercept form.

y=\frac{-3}{5}x+\frac{12}{5}-1

y=\frac{-3}{5}x+\frac{12-5}{5}

y=\frac{-3}{5}x+\frac{7}{5}

The point slope form of a line is

y=mx+b

Where m is the slope and b is y-intercept.

Therefore the slope of the line is \frac{-3}{5} and the y-intercept of the line is \frac{7}{5}.

Slope is defined as

m=\frac{Rise}{Run}

Since the slope is negative, therefore the run of the line is considered on the left side. The line rise by 3 and run by 5, therefore we will add 7 in y and subtract 5 from x.

The y-intercept is (0,\frac{7}{5}).

(0-5,\frac{7}{5}+3)=(-5,\frac{22}{5})=(-5,4.4)

Therefore we have three points (4,-1), (-5,4.4) and (0,1.4). Plot the point on the coordinate plane and connect them be a straight line.
