A piece of timber is x
cm long.
How long would 3 pieces of timber be put together in a line?

3x cm long.

Step-by-step explanation:

If one piece is x cm

and there are 3 together, presumeabley the same length

then you'd just need to multiply the length 3 times, therefore 3x respresents multiplying x 3 times.

Have a good day!

3x cm long

Step-by-step explanation:

3 times x is 3x

a c

step-by-step explanation:

a) at most means it can cost $12 or less

so the inequality sign would be ≤

you would then need to multiply the number of toppings by the 0.35 for each one and add it to the cost of the cheese pizza.

the equation would be 9.99 + 0.35x ≤ 12

b) using the above equation:

9.99 + 0.35x ≤ 12

subtract 9.99 from each side:

0.35x ≤2.01

divide both sides by 0.35:

x ≤ 2.01 / 0.35

x ≤5.74

at most you could have 5 toppings.

the 5 topping pizza would cost: 0.35 x 5 = 1.75 + 9.99 = $11.74
