Please help The sum of two numbers is 11. The larger number is 1 less than twice the smaller number. What are the two numbers? Which equations can be used to express the problem as a system of two linear equations in slope-intercept form? Select all that apply. y = one-half x minus 1 y = 2x –1 y = x –11 y = x + 11 y = 11 – x

Best answer that i found on yahoo ok   set :   x= length of 2nd piece in cm  x- 3= length of 1st piece in cm  x-4= length of 3rd piece in cm  then since you know they all came from the 20 cm ribbon you add them together and set them equal to 20x+ x-3 +x-4 = 20  3x - 7= 20  3x= 27  x= 9  the shortest piece is the third piece which is x- 4  x-4  9-4 = 5  the length of the smallest piece is 5 cm.  the other lengths are  9 cm  6 cm

The answer is all about the number 4
