The total length of the rope = 32 ft
It is cut into two sections, say x and y
But one section is seven times the other, say y=7x (shorter section being x)
Solving for x
x+y =32
x+7x = 32
8x=32
x=32/8 = 4 ft.
Therefore, the shorter piece is 4 ft long.
Answer:
-9.5-42.1/6=x
-8.6
-9.5+ 6x-8.5
-61.1
Step-by-step explanation:
9/9 simply equals 1 there is no mixed number
Answer: 4

Answer:
a factor of 2 is shown, but 4 was factored out
Step-by-step explanation:
The difference of squares is factored as ...
a² -b² = (a +b)(a -b)
Then the given difference of squares factors as ...
144x² -100 = (12x)² -10² = (12x +10)(12x -10)
Each of these factors has a factor of 2 that can be factored out:
= (2(6x +5))(2(6x -5))
= (2·2)(6x +5)(6x -5)
= 4(6x +5)(6x -5)
The first factor should be 4, not 2.
