Answer:

13 and 65

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 5x = 78

(because u want a piece (x) and a piece that's five times longer than x- so 5x. and they should come from a 78 inch piece)

6x = 78

x = 78 / 6

x= 13

(to counter check:  13 * 5 = 65.  

                               65 + 13 = 78  )

One piece is 13, the bigger piece is 65!

we know this because if one piece is 13, the piece 5 times bigger is (65), and 65+ 13 is 78.

One-Half the difference of a number and 15
slega [8]

Answer:

x - 15 ÷ 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it wants you to find the half of your answer after you find the difference, be sure to leave the two at the end of your equation. With that said, let's move into finding out what "the difference of a number and fifteen is". Whenever they tell you 'a number', it means they want you to put a variable, such as x, since you do not know the number and it could be any number. Now, the "difference" of something usually means...you guessed it, subtraction! Now that you've decoded your equation, you now know it means that x - 15 is the first part, and you can now put the one half right after it.

If this is confusing, I can explain further. :D

The Hawks are starting a babysitting business. They charge an initial deposit of $20
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation: So first you have to make this word problem into a equation into standard form so 20 is our (y) because that is the additional charge but our slope is 3 because that is what they charge per hr **when they say (per) usually the member with it is the slope** (sry I’m not the best explainer)

Find an equation perpendicular to x=1 and passing through (8,-9)
valina [46]

Answer:

y=-9

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find an equation of a line that's perpendicular to x=1 that also passes through the point (8,-9).

Note that x=1 is a <em>vertical line </em>since x is 1 no matter what y is.

This means that if our new line is perpendicular to the old, then it must be a <em>horizontal line</em>.

So, since we have a horizontal line, then our equation must be our y-value of our point.

Our y-coordinate of our point (8,-9) is -9.

Therefore, our equation is:

y=-9

And this is in standard form.

And we're done!
