40 inch board is to be cut into three pieces so that the second piece is four times as long as the first piece and the third piece is five times as long as the first piece if X represents the length of the first piece find the links of all three pieces

X = 5, 2nd piece  = 10 and third piece = 25.

I got the answer by adding all the variables.

5x + 2x + x = 40

8x = 40

40 / 8  = x

5 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

connie < felicia < stew

step-by-step explanation:

stew:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (2650-795)/(10-3)

    = 1855/7

connie:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

we have two points (0,0) and (4,800)

m = (800-0)/(4-0)

  m = 800/4
