A. The ratio between the lengths of two pieces of lumber is 2:3. The longer piece is
21 ft long. How long is the shorter piece?

Help me please

14 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the shorter piece have length x.

Since the ratio is 2:3 and the longer piece is 21 feet long, we can write that as 2:3 = x:21.

Writing it as fractions, we get 2/3 = x/21 —(multiply by 21)—> x = 21*2/3 = 7*2 = 14 feet.

Thus, the shorter piece is 14 feet.

I hope this helps! :)

the shorter piece is 14ft long

Step-by-step explanation:

let the shorter piece be x

longer piece will be x:21

ratio of two pieces= 2:3

2:3=x:21

2/3=X/21

then cross multiply

21×2=3x

42/3=3x/3

X=14

2:3=14:21

hope it helps

answer: yard ramps with a level off platform are typically 36 feet long. truck, rather than at an angle, enabling access to those pallets at the very back of the truck. if you are using your yard ramp to convert a loading dock into a drive-in door, we even at 60 inches (5 feet) high and a 30 foot ramp, the slope of the ramp will be less

step-by-step explanation:

5x + 3y = - 4

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in standard form is

ax + by = c ( a is a positive integer and b, c are integers )

express the line first of all in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

to calculate m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (7, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 8)

m = = -

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (4, - 8 ), then

- 8 = - + c ⇒ c = -

y = - x - ← in slope-intercept form

multiply all terms by 3 to eliminate the fractions

3y = - 5x - 4 ( add 5x to both sides )

5x + 3y = - 4 ← in standard form
