Answer:

shorter piece: 2 feet

longer piece: 8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

let the shorter piece be x

then the longer piece will be 3x + 2

<u>if they join together</u>:

  • 3x + 2 + x = 10
  • 4x + 2 = 10
  • 4x = 10 -2
  • 4x = 8
  • x = 2

<u>Longer piece</u>:

  • 3x + 2
  • 3(2)+2
  • 8 feet

Answer:

x+3x+2=10

4x=10-2

4x=8

x=8/4

x=2 ft. for the shorter piece./

3*2+2=6+2=8 ft. for the longer piece.

Proof:

8+2=10

10=10

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer: Probability of twenty- dollar bill is 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of five dollars = 2

Number of ten dollars = 9

Total number of dollars is given by

2+9=11

Since there is no twenty dollar bills.

So, Probability of getting twenty- dollar bill is given by

\frac{\text{ Number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{ total number of outcomes}}\\\\=\frac{0}{11}\\\\=0

Hence, Probability of twenty- dollar bill is 0.

A rectangular box has length x and width 3. The volume of the box is given by y = 3x(8 – x). The greatest x-intercept of the gra
CaHeK987 [17]

Consider rectangular box with

  • length x units (x≥0);
  • width 3 units;
  • height (8-x) units (8-x≥0, then x≤8).

The volume of the rectangular box can be calculated as

V_{box}=\text{length}\cdot \text{width}\cdot \text{height}.

In your case,  

V_{box}=3\cdot x\cdot (8-x).

Note that maximal possible value of the height can be 8 units (when x=0 - minimal possible length) and the minimal possible height can be 0 units (when x=8 - maximal possible length).

From the attached graph you can see that the greatest x-intercept is x=8, then the height will be minimal and lenght will be maximal.

Then the volume will be V=0 (minimal).

Answer: correct choices are B (the maximum possible length), C (the minimum possible height)

The highway from Stonestown to Budley passes through Henton, as shown in the map below.
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

C. 1 inch = 23 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the scale, add the scale distances shown first.

2.25 + 1.75 = 4 inches on the map

Now, divide the actual mileage (92 miles) by how long it was on the map.

92 / 4

92 = 80 + 12

92/4 = (80/4) + (12/4)

92/4 = 20 + 3

92/4 = 23 miles

That means 1 inch on this map is actually 23 miles. So the scale of the map is 1 inch = 23 miles, which is C.
