X-2 for x=-3
-3-2=-5, add dem negatives
Since y represents miles and x represents weeks, it would be y=300x
Answer:
x = -8/b
Step-by-step explanation:
2bx-bx= -8
bx = -8
Divide by b since b is nonzero
x = -8/b
X + 3x + 4x = 56
8x = 56
x = 7
The shortest piece is 7 inches
The middle piece is 7*3 = 21 inches.
The longest piece is 4*7 = 28 inches
Check
7 + 21 + 28 = 56 It does check and the lengths are correct.
