Your answer is y=15 for your problem
When you have an equation that has variables and you know the value of those variables, just plug it it. So plugging the vaules we get
Just evaluating we get 4
Answer:
c
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets name the shortest piece a, the medium b and the longest c
Together they are 90inches

The longest is 30 inches longer than the shortest

The third piece is half the lenght of the longest

So if you place c=a+30 in the other 2 equasions you get

And

Now if you put this 2 toghether u get

Multyplied by 2


Meaning that a=18inches
Now that we have the lenght of a we put it in the previous equasion

So b=48/2 which means b=24inches
And together they must be 90 so

C=48inches
