Answer:

Explanation: L = longer piece S = shorter piece

L + S = 22

L = 4 + S

S + S + 4 = 22
-4 -4
S + S = 18

S = 18/2 = 9 cm

L = 4 + S —> 4 + 9 = 13 cm

To confirm:

13 cm + 9 cm = 22 cm

Therefore, the shorter piece is 9 cm.

3x−8/2 =x−6<br> im really confused
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>first divide 8 by 2, to get 3x-4 =x-6. then, add four on both sides to get 3x = x-6 + 4. to x's and number on different sides, you are now going to subtract 1x from both sides to get 2x = -6 + 4. solve to get 2x = -2. lastly, divide both sides by 2 do get <u>x = -1</u>. </h2><h2></h2><h2>:)</h2>

One x-intercept for a parabola is at the point (-2,0).
BARSIC [14]
You can find the x intercept by setting y to 0 and factor the equation.

0=2x^3+3x-2
0=(2x-1)(x+2)

We can make this equation =0 if x is -2 and 1/2.

So the x intercepts are (-2,0) and (0.5,0)
