A plumber wishes to cut a piece of pipe 32 inches long into two parts so that the
larger part is 4 inches less than three
times the smaller part. What are the
lengths of the two parts of the pipe?

9 and 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be smaller length in inches.

x+3x-4=32

4x=36

x=9

9*3-4=23

So they're 9 and 23 inches long.

9 and 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be smaller length in inches.

x+3x-4=32

4x=36

x=9

9*3-4=23

So they're 9 and 23 inches long.

answer: (c) m∠qpo + (2x + 16)° = 180°

step-by-step explanation:

the opposite angles of a quadrilateral are supplementary.

so, ∠o + ∠q = 180°   and   ∠p + ∠r = 180°

since ∠r = 2x + 16°, we can use substitution as follows:

∠p + ∠r = 180°

∠p + (2x + 16)° = 180°

his first public project he is asked to create a small scale drawing. the garden is a right triangle with base 25m and height 30m. are you trying to solve for the last side/hypotenuse? the irrational form of the answer would be 5\sqrt{61}
