Answer:

A. 10x=350

B. 35 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

So the first piece is x, and the second is 3 times as long, so the second is 3x, and the third pice is twice as long has the second piece which is 3x, so third piece is 6x. The total is 350 inches, so x+3x+6x=350. Simplify that so you get 10x=350. Divide both sides by 10, and you get x=35 inches. Hope that helps!

What is the equation if the line slope is 2/3 and the y-intercept is -3
lora16 [44]
<h2>The required equation of line is 2x - 3y - 9 = 0.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, slope(m) = \dfrac{2}{3} and y - intercept(c) = -3

To find, the required equation of line = ?

We know that,

The equation of a line with slope m and y-intercept c is given by

y = mx + c

∴ The required equation of line

y = \dfrac{2}{3}x + (- 3)

⇒ y = \dfrac{2}{3}x - 3

⇒ y + 3 = \dfrac{2}{3}x

⇒ 3(y + 3) = 2x

⇒ 3y + 9 = 2x

⇒ 2x - 3y - 9 = 0

Thus, the required equation of line is 2x - 3y - 9 = 0.

A town has a population of 8000 and grows at 3% every year. To the nearest tenth of a year, how long will it be until the popula
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

It will take approximately 34 years

Step-by-step explanation:

If a town population is 8000 and grows 3% annually.

How long will it take to reach 16300

growth is 16300 - 8000 = 8300

using simple interest formula

SI = (P × r × t)/100

8300 = (8000 × 3 × t)100

8300= (80 × 3)t

8300 = 240t

t = 8300/240

t ≈ 34 years to the nearest tenth
