Answer:

The length of each red rod is 10 cm and the length of each blue rod is 14 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the length of each red rod in centimeters

y ----> the length of each blue rod in centimeters

we know that

$3x=2y+2$ ----> equation A

$3y=4x+2$ ----> equation B

Solve the system by graphing

Remember that the solution of the system of equations is the intersection point both graphs

using a graphing tool

The solution is the point (10,14)

see the attached figure

therefore

The length of each red rod is 10 cm and the length of each blue rod is 14 cm

(x - 2)² + 6x – 7 Which of the following is equivalent to

podryga [215]

Answer:

$x^2 +2x-3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$(x - 2)\² + 6x - 7$

Required

The equivalent

We have:

$(x - 2)\² + 6x - 7$

Expand

$(x - 2)\² + 6x - 7 = x^2 -2x-2x +4 +6x - 7$

Collect like terms

$(x - 2)\² + 6x - 7 = x^2 -2x-2x+6x +4 - 7$

$(x - 2)\² + 6x - 7 = x^2 +2x-3$

Hence, the equivalent is:

$x^2 +2x-3$

for a different pizza dough recipe, the equation f=2.5w represents the number of cups of flour, f, that you need for w cups of w

zhuklara [117]

For any direct variation, the equation is of the form y = kx, where k is the constant of proportionality.

Given the equation: f = 2.5w

The constant of proportionality is 2.5.

This means that the ration of the cups of flour to the cups of water used in the recipe is 2.5
