Answer:

7 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of one piece of string = 28 feet.

Length of the second string = 42 feet.

Since the number of required pieces was not given but many are required, the greatest length can be determined by;

If the maximum length is 7 feet, then:

the number of pieces from 28 feet long string = \frac{28}{7}

                                                      = 4

Also,

the number of pieces from the 42 feet lone string = \frac{42}{7}

                                                    = 6

Total number of 7 feet strings that she can make = 4 + 6

                                                    = 10

Since many pieces are required, the greatest length she can make is 7 feet. If she increase the length to 14 feet, the number of pieces would be 5 which limit the required number.

How to substitute 3x+3y=-3 and y=5x-1?
schepotkina [342]
Since y = 5x-1, we can fill it into 3x + 3y = -3. First, let's look at relating to a simpler equation. Let's say that x + y = 9 and y = 3 + 5. Now, we can fill it in to get that x + (3 + 5) = 9. Now, we know that 3+5 is 8, so x + 8 = 9. Now, x = 1. Likewise, we can do the same. For 3x + 3y = -3, all we need to do is to switch the y in 3x + 3y = -3 with 5x - 1. So it would become 3x + 3(5x - 1) = -3. Now we distribute to get 3x + 15x - 3 = -3. Now add three to both sides to get 3x + 15x = 0. Now simplify to get 18x = 0. Now we know that x = 0. Now fill x into y = 5x - 1. So y = 5(0) - 1. Now we know that y = -1.

To check fill in the answer to 3x + 3y = -3.
3(0) + 3(-1) = -3
 0 + (-3) = -3
0 - 3 = -3
-3 = -3
Now that our check is completed we now know that x is 0 and y is -1.

I don't get this question lol
zloy xaker [14]
Basically, the inputs are the x values on the table. Plug those into the function. "Multiply the input by -1/2, then add 3" translates to -1/2(x) + 3.

If you would like me to actually put the answers down, then I'll put them in the comments after you request them.

a circle with radious of 1cm sits inside a 11cm times 12 cm rectangle what is the area of the shaded region
Nitella [24]

Answer: 128.86cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The circle is inscribed in the rectangle. To find the shaded portion, subtract he area of the circle from the are of the rectangle.

Area of the rectangle                                  =  11 x 12

                                                                     =  132cm²

Area of the circle with radius of 1cm          =  πr²

                                                                     = 3.142 x 1²

                                                                     = 3.142cm²

Therefore , area of the shaded  region      = 132cm²  -  3.142cm²

                                                                    = 128.86cm²

neonofarm [45]
The median is the middle value, so put them all in numerical order, (1,2,4,6,7, ect.), and find the middle. If there is two numbers in the middle find the number exactly between them.
Hope this helps!
