"31-inch piece of steel is cut into three pieces"
Call the pieces a,b,c
a + b + c = 31
"second piece is twice as long as the first piece"
b = 2a
"third piece is one inch more than seven times the length of the first piece"
c = 1 + 7a
Ok, we have our equations, let's substitute the second and third into the first.
a + 2a + 1 + 7a = 31
10a + 1 = 31
10a = 30
a = 30/10 = 3
b = 2a = 6
c = 1 + 7a = 22
Check: 3 + 6 + 22 = 31, good
Answer: 3 inches, 6 inches, 22 inches

i took the test
Use the FOIL method (first, outside, inside, last) to multiply:
2x^2-8x+3x-12
This can be simplified even more into:
2x^2-5x-12.

Answer:
1. $234
2. B) 6
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Since the coat is on sale for 22% off you want to do 300 times 0.22 to get 66. With this number you are going to take 300-66 to get $234.
2. The formula for the volume of a rectangular pyramid is V= lwh/3
Since I know that the total volume is 120 I know that the l times w time h has to equal 360 since its divided by 3. With the 12 and 5 I get 60. Since I know that 360/60 equals 6 I know the answer is B.
