Answer:

88 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the shortest piece has length 2x, so the medium piece has length 5x and the longest piece has length 8x. Added together, they equal 165, so

2x + 5x + 8x = 165

15x = 165

divide both sides by 15 to isolate x

x = 11

8x = longest piece = 88 ft

You are a landlord, and your tenant complains that you are in violation of the ADA because your wheelchair ramp is too steep. An
Savatey [412]

Answer:

  Not justified

Step-by-step explanation:

ADA requirements are for a slope of 1 in 12 or less, an 8.3% grade, or an angle of 4.8° (actually, 4.764° when rounded to 3 decimal places). The ramp angle found by the assessor is compliant.

  The tenant complaint does not seem justified.

You do not need to flip the inequality sign when solving the inequality -3t + 7 ≥ 9. True False
nordsb [41]
Hello!

It is False because t is multiplied by a negative number, so to solve for it you will need to divide both sides by -3 which mean you have to flip the sign. 

Hope this helps!

EXPLAIN THE ERROR Cody was given two points (1/2,4) and (2/3,1), on a line and asked to create a linear equation in standard for
inessss [21]

Answer:

Cody made a mistake when calculating the slope of the line and this affected every other steps after than.

She divided -3 by 6 instead of -3 by 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(x_1,y_1) = (\frac{1}{2},4)

(x_2,y_2) = (\frac{2}{3},1)

<em>See attached for steps</em>

Required

Explain Cody's error

<em>Cody made a mistake when calculating the slope of the line and this affected every other steps after than.</em>

See Proof

Slope (m) is calculated as thus:

m =\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

m =\frac{1 - 4}{\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{2}}

m =-\frac{ 3}{\frac{1}{6}}

m = -3/\frac{1}{6}

m = -3 * 6

m = -18

This is in contrast to m = -\frac{1}{2}, calculated by Cody

Solving further to determine the equation.

y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)

Where

(x_1,y_1) = (\frac{1}{2},4)

m = -18

y - 4 = -18(x - \frac{1}{2})

y - 4 = -18x + 9

Collect Like Terms

y + 18x = 9 + 4

y + 18x = 13

Y= -x +3 and y = x - 1
inysia [295]

Answer:

x=2 and y=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite equations:

y=−x+3;y=x−1

Step: Solve

y=−x+3

Step: Substitute−x+3foryiny=x−1:

y=x−1

−x+3=x−1

−x+3+−x=x−1+−x(Add -x to both sides)

−2x+3=−1

−2x+3+−3=−1+−3(Add -3 to both sides)

−2x=−4−2x−2=−4−2

(Divide both sides by -2)

x=2

Step: Substitute2forxiny=−x+3:

y=−x+3

y=−2+3

y=1(Simplify both sides of the equation)

Hope this Helps you :)
