Answer:
y=-3 x=1 (1,-3)
Step-by-step explanation:
y=x-4
y=6x-9
y+4=x
y+9=6x
difference = 5
x+5=6x
x=1
y=-3
1,-3
We are given that the shorter piece is x
From your description, the longer piece is 2x + 2
The total length is
x + 2x + 2 = 14
ie
3x + 2 = 14
3x = 12
x = 4
So the length of the shorter piece is 4 ft
Therefore the length of the longer piece must be
(14 - 4) ft = 10 ft
Answer: It's not solvable.
Reason:
You need to ask for more information from your teacher, because x can be anything.
