STatiana [176]

Answer:

The length of the first piece = 41 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the first piece = a

Let the length of the second piece = b

Let the length of the third piece = c

we are given the following:

b = 3a . . . . . (1) (The 2nd piece is 3 times as long as the 1st piece)

c = 6 + a . . . . (2) (the 3rd piece is 6 centimeters longer than the 1st piece)

a + b + c = 211 . . . . . (3) ( the yarn has a total length of 211 centimeters)

Next, let us eliminate two variables, and this can easily be done by substituting the values of b and c in equations 1 and 2 into equation 3. this is done as follows:

a + b + c = 211

a + (3a) + (6 + a) = 211 ( remember that b = 3a; c = 6 + a)

a + 3a + 6 + a = 211

5a + 6 = 211

5a = 211 - 6 = 205

5a = 205

∴ a = 205 ÷ 5 = 41 cm

a = 41 cm

Therefore the length of the first piece (a) = 41 cm

now finding b and c

substituting a into equation 1 and 2

b = 3a

b = 3 × 41 = 123

∴ b = 123 cm

c = 6 + a

c = 6 + 41 = 47

∴ c = 47 cm

Which equation represents the line that passes through the points (-5,2) and (9,0)

V125BC [204]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points 

( -5 , 2) and (9 , 0)

First calculating slope(m)

= ( y2 - y1) / ( x2 - x1) 

= ( 0-2) / ( 9+5)

= -2 / 14

= -1/7

Now The equation of line is given by 

y - y1 = m ( x - x1) 

y -2 = -1/7 (x + 5)

7( y - 2) = -1(x + 5)

7y - 14 = -x -5

x + 7y -14 +5 = 0

x + 7y - 9 = 0 

Which is the required equation
