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

3.6 (5 x 4) ÷ 3 + 5.0
Yuliya22 [10]

3.6 (5 x 4)  ÷ 3 + 5.0

use the PEMDAS rule

P - parentheses

E - exponents

M - multiplication

D - division

A - addition

S - subtraction

3.6 (5 x 4)  ÷ 3 + 5.0

= 3.6 (20)  ÷ 3 + 5.0

= 72  ÷ 3 + 5.0

= 24 + 5.0

=29

so the final answer would be 29!!

Javier and his study group designed a word problem, equation, table, and graph that were all supposed to represent the same info
WINSTONCH [101]
C. The graph
The equation y=8x should have a slope of 8. This means that it should go up 8 spaces, every time it moves over by 1. but if you look at the graph you’ll see the slope is 1/8 because it goes up 1 space after moving over 8. If the graph were correct, the x and y values would be swapped.

Roger gets \$40$40dollar sign, 40 per day as wages and \$4.50$4.50dollar sign, 4, point, 50 as commission for every pair of shoe
jek_recluse [69]
Let y be the total money earned in a day and x be the pairs of shoes sold.
y = 4.5x + 40

Putting y = 112

112 = 4.5x + 40
x = 16 pairs of shoes must be sold to meet the requirement.

Planes Q and R are parallel. Explain how you know lines a and b are skew.
IrinaVladis [17]
By definition, skew lines are a pair of lines that are not parallel but do not intersect each other either. Hence, the conclusion would be, the lines are non-coplanar. An example would two random lines drawn in the x and y axes in a cartesian plane, respectively.
