X = shorter piece
y = longer piece = 5x
shorter piece + longer piece = 60
x + 5x = 60
6x = 60
x = 60/6
x = 10 in. <== shorter piece
y = 5x
y = 5(10)
y = 50 in. <== longer piece
Answer:
60%
Step-by-step explanation:
A 40% discount means that 40% will be off, meaning you won't have to pay 40% of the original price. Therefore, you only pay 60% of the original price (100% - 40% = 60%).
Answer:
x=12/23
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.

lets solve it step by step 2(6)(-3)+4
12(-3)+4 then -36+4 and ur answer will be -32
