Debbie cut a cord into sixths . she used five of the pieces to make necklaces. she used equal lenghts of the remaining cord for each of four bracelets. what fraction of the original cord did debbie use for each bracelet

an

y = 6x -3y -12

y +3y +12 = 6x

=> . x = { 2y / 3 +2 } this is equation of line in terms of x

=> . if line meets the x-axis the co-ordinates of meeting point would be ( x , 0 )

=> . x = 2 ( 0 ) / 3 + 2

=> . x = 2

so, the point is ( 2 , 0 )

for future students the answer is b
