Answer:
Let x rep the lenght of the shorter one
Then the longer one is 2x+1
Therefore
(2x+1) + x = 16
We now solve for x
2x + 1 + x = 16
Group and evaluate like terms
3x +1 = 16
3x = 16 -1
× = 15/3
x = 5
So the shorter one is 5 ft
The longer one is 2(5)+1= 11
It’s about -1.5555 I think
This is the answer 5(x-5) and 5x-25
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
b(-10) = |-10+4| will be |-6|
The absolute value of |-6| is 6.
Cheryl is 17 years old now.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let,
Age of Cheryl = x
Age of Henry = 2x+6
In 10 years;
Cheryl's age = x+10
Henry's age = 2x+6+10 = 2x+16
The sum of ages is 77.

Dividing both sides by 3

Age of Cheryl = 17 years
Age of Henry = 2x+6 = 2(17)+6 = 34+6 = 40 years
Cheryl is 17 years old now.
