We need to figure out how much string would be left, after taking away the first two pieces.
We know that the first piece is 20 inches long, so we can say that there is 52-20 inches left, or 32 inches.
The second piece is between 12 and 18 inches, meaning that there would be between 32-12 and 32-18 inches left for the third piece, or 20 and 14 inches. This means that the third piece would be at least 14 inches long, but no more than 20, since we don’t have more string than that (20+12+20=52, and 20+14+18=52)
So we can say that x is greater or equal to 14, but less than or equal to 20, or:
14<=x<=20 (“<=“ is written like a normal “<“ sign with a line _ right under it)
Answer:
The answer is (x-6) squared
The first step we want to take here is to subtract 6 cups of sugar since we'll need it for something else, leaving us with 10 cups of sugar. It takes 2 cups of sugar for every batch of cookies, so you're going to divide 10 by 2. Luckily, 2 is a multiple of 10 so it's a whole number. By dividing, we get 5. So, we can make 5 batches of cookies while still saving 6 cups of sugar for something else.
Answer:
area = 3 2/3 units^2
Step-by-step explanation:
1 1/3 x 2 3/4 = 4/3 x 11/4 = 44/12 = 3 2/3 units^2
Slope is calculated by finding the ratio of the "vertical change" to the "horizontal change" between (any) two distinct points on a line. Sometimes the ratio is expressed as a quotient ("rise over run"), giving the same number for every two distinct points on the same line. A line that is decreasing has a negative "rise". The line may be practical - as set by a road surveyor, or in a diagram that models a road or a roof either as a description or as a plan.
