Answer: the length of Maria's piece of string is 45 inches.
the length of Katy's piece of string is 39 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the length of Maria's piece of string.
Let y represent the length of Katy's piece of string.
When they put the two pieces of string together end to end, the total length is 84inches. This means that
x + y = 84 - - - - - - - - - - - -1
Maria's string is 6 inches longer than Katy's. This means that
x = y + 6
Substituting x = y + 6 into equation 1, it becomes
y + 6 + y = 84
2y + 6 = 84
2y = 84 - 6 = 78
y = 78/2 = 39
x = y + 6 = 39 + 6
x = 45
Answer:
x=6 . m<PQS=82 m<SQR=61 :)
Step-by-step explanation:
(13x+4) + (10x-1) = 141
combine like terms
23x+3=141
subtract 3 from both sides
23x=138
divide both sides by 23
x=6
substitute x into both original equations
m<PQS=13(6)+4
m<PQS=78+4
m<PQS= 82
m<SQR=10(6)+1
m<SQR=60+1
M<SQR=61
Answer:
-6
Step-by-step explanation:
Take a couple of differences and see:
11 -17 = -6
5 -11 = -6
The common difference is -6.
