Answer:
The answer to your question is: first piece = 4 in, second piece = 8 in, third piece = 12 in
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
total length = 24 inches
first piece = x in
second piece = 2x
third piece = 3x
Equation
x + 2x + 3x = 24
6x = 24
x = 24/6
x = 4 length of the first piece
second piece = 2(4) = 8 inches
third piece = 3(4) = 12 inches
Your equation is a little messed up comment me the equation you need help with
Here, we are missing the slope and the y intercept.
Lets look for the y intercept first.
Where does it cross the y axis? At 3!!
3 is the y intercept.
Now, find the slope by using the slope formula.

(0,3) and (2,1)
m = 1-3/2-0 = -2/2 = -2/2 = -1
m = -1
Okay, so we found our slope, now just write the equation.
Answer: y = -1x + 3
Subtract 6 from both sides
15x= 195
Divide both sides by 15
x=13
Final answer: x=13
Check:
15(13)+6
195+6

Answer:
132°
Step-by-step explanation:
∠AOB = ∠EOD = 3x ( vertical angles )
∠AOB + ∠BOC = 90, that is
3x + 0.5x + 34 = 90
3.5x + 34 = 90 ( subtract 34 from both sides )
3.5x = 56 ( divide both sides by 3.5 )
x = 16
∠AOE + ∠EOD = 180 ( straight angle )
∠AOE + 3x = 180
∠AOE + (3 × 16) = 180
∠AOE + 48 = 180 ( subtract 48 from both sides )
∠AOE = 132°
