You have a piece of wood that is 72 inches long u cut the wood into three pieces the second piece is 6 inches longer than the first piece the third piece is 6 inches longer than the second piece draw a diagram and then draw write and solve an equation to find how to position the posters

Let

x> the length of the first piece

y> the length of the second piece

z> the length of the third piece

we know that

x+y+z=72 > equation 1

y=x+6 > solve for x

x=y-6 > equation 2

z=6+y > equation 3

substitute equation 2 and equation 3 in equation 1

[y-6]+y+[6+y]=72

3y=72

y=(72/3)=24 in

Find the value of x

x=y-6 > equation 2

x=24-6=18 in

Find the value of z

z=6+y > equation 3

z=6+24=30 in

therefore

the answer is

the length of the first piece is 18 in

the length of the second piece 24 in

the length of the third piece is 30 in

7/2

(decimal: 3.5)

welcome ; )

step-by-step explanation:

the 8 in 8,420 is in the thousands place so it's value is 8 thousand.

the 8 in 6,870 is in the hundreds place so it's value is 8 hundred.

divide 8000 by 800 to find the answer:

8000 / 800 = 10

the 8 in 8,420 is 10 times greater than the 8 in 6,870
