So if one bit of the length, is half the size of the other bit then we can make the following equation, for x being the length of rope:

x + 2x = 66
3x = 66
x = 22

That is the length, of the smaller one (half the big one), so 2x = 44. Hence d) is your answer.

Hope I helped!

Let's say the two piece's lengths are x and y

so x+y=66

then we are told that "one piece is half the length of the other"
so x = (1/2)y

we plug this into the first equation and get
(1/2)y + y = 66
or
1.5 y = 66

divide both sides by 1.5 to get y alone
y = 66 / 1.5 = 44

we can check to see if y is the longer one by finding x
x = 66 - y = 66 - 44 = 22

44 is bigger than 22
therefore 44 is the length of the longer piece

The value in dollars,v(x),of a certain truck after x years is represented by the equation v(x)=32,500(0.92)^x.To the nearest dol
Vika [28.1K]

Answer: $2193

Step-by-step explanation:

v(x) = 32,500(.92)^{x}

Plug two and three in for x

v(2) = 32,500(.92)^{2}

v(2) = 32,500(.8464)

v(2) = 27,500

v(3) = 32,500(.92)^{3}

v(3) = 32,500(.778688)

v(3) = 25,307.36

Subtract v(3) from v(2)

27,500 - 25,307.36 = 2192.64

Round to the nearest dollar to get $2193

Twenty-one boys and eight girls go on a camping trip. In how many ways can a group of six be selected to gather firewood, given
lorasvet [3.4K]
(a)  there are 8C2  = 28 ways of picking 2 girls from 8
And there are  21C4  =  5985 ways of picking 4 boys

Required number of ways for 2g / 4b  = 28 * 5985 =  167,580 

(b) at least 2 girls means  combinations of 2g/4b , 3g,3b , 4g/2b , 5g 1b or 
6 girls.

2g/4b  = 167,580 ways
3g/3b =  8C3 * 21C3 =  56 * 1330 = 74,480
4g/2b =  8C4* 21C2  =   70 * 210 = 14,700 
5g 1b = 8C5* 21 =  56*21 = 1176
6 girls  = 8C6 = 28

adding these up we get the answer to (b) which is  257,964

what is the value of the constant in the equation that relates the height and width of this rectangle
Doss [256]

The correct answer is C. 1.5

You can find this answer by using any of the points on the graph and putting them into the given equation. Then you can solve for the constant. For the purpose of this example, we will use (10, 15)

Height = Constant * Width ---> Plug in known values.

15 = Constant * 10 ----> Divide both sides by 10

1.5 = Constant

This will work with whatever numbers you use from the graph. Although this graph does not have any others to really choose from.
