Answer: One piece is 60 cm and the other is 100cm

Lets think, "x" as the length of each piece.

3 + 5 is 8. So,

x/160 = 3/8

x= 3/8*160

x= 60

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

x/160 = 5/8

x= 5/8 * 160

x= 100

Brainliest pls if it was correct!

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>3</em><em>:</em><em>5</em><em>=</em>

<em>3</em><em>×</em><em>5</em><em>=</em><em>1</em><em>5</em>

<em>5</em><em>×</em><em>3</em><em>=</em><em>1</em><em>5</em>

<em>3</em><em>/</em><em>1</em><em>5</em><em>×</em><em>1</em><em>6</em><em>0</em><em>=</em><em>3</em><em>2</em>

<em>the</em><em> </em><em>fir</em><em>s</em><em>t</em><em> </em><em>piece</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>3</em><em>2</em>

IS THIS CORRECT?! I HAVE A BACK SIDE TOO, IF ANYTHING IS WRONG PLS PLS LMK!!
Fudgin [204]

The only error you made is on problem 3. Everything else is correct. Nice work.

-------------------------------------------------------

Here is how to solve problem 3

Plug x = 1 into the equation and solve for y

-3x + y = 1

-3*1 + y = 1 ... replace x with 1

-3 + y = 1

y - 3 = 1

y - 3 + 3 = 1 + 3 .... add 3 to both sides

y = 4

<h3>The answer is 4</h3>

-------------------------------------------------------

Verifying the answer:

Plug (x,y) = (1,4) into the equation. Both sides should be the same number after simplifying both sides.

-3x + y = 1

-3*1 + 4 = 1 ..... replace x with 1; replace y with 4

-3 + 4 = 1

1 = 1

The answer is confirmed.

If you were to graph -3x + y = 1, which is equivalent to y = 3x+1, you'll find that the point (1,4) is on this line.
