The length of the shortest piece is 5, and the longest piece is 13 feet.

Given

Greg has a piece of rope that is 18 ft long.

He wants to cut it into two pieces so that the longer piece is 2 ft less than three times the length of the.

<h3>What is a system of the equation?</h3>

A system of equations is a set of two or more equations that you deal with at one time.

Let the length of the shorter piece be x.

And the length of the longer piece is 3x -2.

Greg has a piece of rope that is 18 ft long.

Then,

\rm \text{longest piece+shortest piece}=18\\\\x+3x-2=18\\\\4x=18+2\\\\4x=20\\\\x=\dfrac{20}{4}\\\\x=5

Therefore,

The length of the shorter piece is x =5.

And the length of the longer piece = 3x -2 = 3(5)-2 = 15-2 = 13

Hence, the length of the shortest piece is 5, and the longest piece is 13 feet.

A hat is on sale for h dollars. The regular price is 7 times as much. Charlie has enough money to buy two hats at the regular pr
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

Charlie can buy 14 hats at the sale price

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

h ----> the sale price of the hat

x ---> the regular price of the hat

we know that

x=7h ----> equation A

so

Two hats at the regular price  is equal to multiply 2 by x

Multiply by 2 equation A both sides

2x=(7h)*2

2x=14h

2 hats at the regular price cost the same that 14 hats at the sale price

therefore

Charlie can buy 14 hats at the sale price

Evaluate ∫ e3x cosh 2x dx A. 1/2e5x + 1/2ex + C B. 1/10e5x + 1/5 x + C C. 1/10e5x + 1/2ex + C D. 1/4e3x + 1/2 x + C
goldfiish [28.3K]

∫ e^(3x)*(cosh(2x)dx

= ∫ [e^(3x)*(e^(2x)+e^(-2x))/2]dx

= ∫ [(e^(5x)+e^x)/2]dx

=e^(5x)/10+e^x/2+C

=(1/10)(e^(5x)+5e^x)+C
