Let
x---------> the length of the first piece
y---------> the length of the second piece
z---------> the length of the third piece
we know that
x+y+z=72 -------> equation 1
y=x+6 -----> solve for x
x=y-6 -------> equation 2
z=6+y -------> equation 3
substitute equation 2 and equation 3 in equation 1
[y-6]+y+[6+y]=72
3y=72
y=(72/3)=24 in
<u>Find the value of x</u>
x=y-6 -------> equation 2
x=24-6=18 in
<u>Find the value of z</u>
z=6+y -------> equation 3
z=6+24=30 in
therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
the length of the first piece is 18 in
the length of the second piece 24 in
the length of the third piece is 30 in
You're given the y-intercept, which is (0,5), so to complete the slope intercept form, you now need to find the slope. slope is the change in y over the change in x, so take points (4,-1) and (2,2) for instance and apply the formula; -1-2= -3 and 4-2=2, so the change in y is -3 and the change in x is 2. to find the slope, you divide change in y by change in x, which is -3/2. from here, you can gather that the slope intercept form is y= -3/2x + 5
The lowest common denominator of 1/3 and 2/9 = 9
Answer:
<h3>
a = (2mz - 3m)/4</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
2z = 4a/m +3
-3 -3
2z - 3 = 4a/m
×m ×m
(2z -3)m = 4a
÷4 ÷4
[(2z -3)m]/4 = a
a = (2mz - 3m)/4
