Answer:

1st piece = Piece A = 5 inches

2nd piece = Piece B = 10 inches

Third Piece = Piece C = 27 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

A 42-inch piece of steel is cut into 3 pieces

Let the lengths be represented as:

1st piece = Piece A

2nd piece = Piece B

Third Piece = Piece C

Hence:

A + B + C = 42

The 2nd piece is twice as long as the 1st piece

B = 2A

The 3rd piece is 2 inches more than 5 times the length of the first piece.

C = 5A + 2

Hence: we substitute

A + B + C = 42 inches

A + 2A + 5A + 2 = 42 inches

8A = 42 - 2

8A = 40 inches

A = 40 inches/8

A = 5 inches

Solving for B

B = 2A

B = 2 × 5 inches

B = 10 inches

Solving for C

C = 5A + 2

C = 5 × 5 + 2

C = 25 + 2

C = 27 inches

Therefore, the lengths of the 3 pieces =

1st piece = Piece A = 5 inches

2nd piece = Piece B = 10 inches

Third Piece = Piece C = 27 inches

A new television is on sale for $680.00, which is 20% off of its original price. What was the original price of the television?
Effectus [21]

Answer:

Original price of the television = $850

Step-by-step explanation:

Television price on sale = $680.00

% of sale = 20%

It means price on sale = 80% = $680.00

Original price of the television = 100% = ?

Price on 1% = 680/80 = $8.5

Original price of the television = 100% = $8.5 x 100

                                                  = $850

Write an equation in point-slope form for the line through the given point with the given slope.
Lilit [14]

The correct answer is D) y + 1 = 4/3(x - 9)

In order to find this, simply take the point and the slope and plug into the base form of point-slope form.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Use the slope for m and the point for (x1, y1)

y + 1 = 4/3(x - 9)
