Answer:

34 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Short piece= x

Longer piece= 4x

The shorter piece and longer piece = 170 in, so 5x= 170

To find "x", divide both sides by 5

5x/5= x

170/5=34

x=34

Hope this helps! :)

olchik [2.2K]
The coordinates would be (3, 3).

The slope from R to S is given by

m = (0 - 0)/(-4-1) = 0/-5 = 0

The distance from R to S is 5 units straight across.

This means the slope from T to U will be 0, and it will be a horizontal segment.  This means the y-coordinate of U will be 3, since the y-coordinate of T is 3.

The distance from T to U will be 5 as well; -2+5 = 3 for the x-coordinate.

This makes the point (3, 3).

Does (0, 0) make the equation y = 9x − 5 true?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

no

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 9x − 5

The point (0,0) means x=0 and y=0

Substitute this into the equation and see it is true

0 = 9*0 -5

0 = 0-5

0 = -5

This is not true so the point is not a solution.

Diego is solving this system of equations:
USPshnik [31]

The solutions of the equations are x = 1 and y = 2

The system of equations are

4x + 3y = 10

-4x + 5y = 6

Here we have to use the elimination method. Eliminate the x term and find the value of y term

Add both equation

3y + 5y = 10 +6

Add the like terms

8y = 16

y = 16 / 8

Divide  the terms

y = 2

Substitute the value of x in the first equation

4x + 3y = 10

4x + 3×2 =  10

Multiply the terms

4x + 6  = 10

4x = 10 - 6

4x = 4

x = 4 / 4

Divide the terms

x = 1

Hence, the solutions of the equations are x = 1 and y = 2
