Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
3 pieces such that each piece is 2 cm longer then the next...
x , x + 2, x + 4
x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 30
3x + 6 = 30
3x = 30 - 6
3x = 24
x = 24/3
x = 8
x + 2 = 8 + 2 = 10
x + 4 = 8 + 4 = 12
check...
8 + 10 + 12 = 30
18 + 12 = 30
30 = 30 (correct)...it checks out
the ribbon lengths are : 8 cm, 10 cm, and 12 cm
I know this is not an answer but if your having trouble with this there is a website called Desmos all you do is type in the equation for the graph and it gives you the answer
Answer:
x = 4y+28
Step-by-step explanation:
x/4 -7 = y
Solve for x
Add 7 to each side
x/4 -7+7 = y+7
x/4 = (y+7)
Multiply each side by 4
x/4*4 = 4(y+7)
x = 4y+28
