A 20 foot rope is cut so that one piece is 5 feet longer than the other. Find the length of each piece

Mathematics

Let one piece of the rope be x

Let the other piece of rope be x + 5

These two pieces put together will make 20 feet.

So we say:

x + (x +5) = 20

What is x? We expand the equation.

x + x + 5 = 20

x + x = 20 - 5

2x = 15

x = 7.5

The shorter piece is  therefore 7.5 feet.

The longer piece is 7.5 + 5 = 12.5 feet.

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

y = 0.15x+77 is the equation linear connecting total cost y and miles driven x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the leasing company charged a flat rental fee for the week, plus a charge for each mile driven.

Let flat rental fee be c and cost per mile driven = m and miles driven = x

Total cost =y

Then y = mx+C is the linear equation.

to find m and c, we use the fact that y =110.30 when x = 222

i.e. 110.30 = c+222x

and similarly 99.05 = c+147x

Subtract to eliminate c

11.25 = 75 x

0.15 =x

Substitute in I equation

110.30 = c+222(0.15)

c = 77

Hence y = 0.15x+77 is the equation linear connecting total cost y and miles driven x
