Answer:

shorter piece = 6. longer piece = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

short piece = s

long piece = l

l+s= 18

l= 6+s , substitute

6+s+s = 18

6+2s= 18

2s= 18-6

2s= 12

s=12/2

s= 6= shorter piece

l= 6+s

l= 6+6= 12 = longer piece

Solve for x: 14-x= 5
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

We are going to isolate x

14 - x = 5

subtract 14 from 5

-x = -9

multiply both sides by -1 to make x positive

x = 9

The cost C (in dollars) to participate in a ski club is given by the literal equation C=85x+60, where X=C/85-12/17 is the number
dybincka [34]

Given:

The cost C (in dollars) to participate in a ski club is given by,

\begin{gathered} C=85x+60 \\ (or) \\ x=\frac{C}{85}-\frac{12}{17} \end{gathered}

Where x is the number of ski trips we take.

To find:

The number of ski trips when a total cost of $315 and $485 is spent.

Explanation:

Substituting C = 315 in the given equation we get,

\begin{gathered} x=\frac{315}{85}-\frac{12}{17} \\ x=\frac{315-60}{85} \\ x=\frac{255}{85} \\ x=3\text{ ski trips} \end{gathered}

Substituting C = 485 in the given equation we get,

\begin{gathered} x=\frac{485}{85}-\frac{12}{17} \\ x=\frac{485-60}{85} \\ x=\frac{425}{85} \\ x=5\text{ ski trips} \end{gathered}

Thus,

If we spend a total cost of $315, we can take 3 ski trips.

If we spend a total cost of $485, we can take 5 ski trips.

Final answer:

• If we spend a total cost of $315, we can take 3 ski trips.

,

• If we spend a total cost of $485, we can take 5 ski trips.
