Nagaraj has a party-length sandwich that is 55 inches long and is to be cut into three pieces. the middle piece will be 4 inches longer than the shortest piece, and the shortest piece will be 9 inches shorter than the longest piece. how long will the pieces be?

S = 14 inches

M = 18 inches

L = 23 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's being by defining our variables:

Shortest piece = S

Middle piece = M

Longest piece = L

So now we need to write down what formulas we're given:

"Nagaraj has a party-length sandwich that is 55 inches long and is to be cut into three pieces"

so we can start by knowing the S + M + L = 55

"The middle piece will be 4 inches longer than the shortest piece"

This means that M - 4 = S

"the shortest piece will be 9 inches shorter than the longest piece"

Finally, this means that S + 9 = L

What we need to do now is turn all of these things into the form of one letter. We can see that S is in all three of these equations, so lets solve everything in terms of S.

M = S + 4

L = S + 9

Now we can plug in both of those things into our first equation to get:

S + S + 4 + S + 9 = 55

and now we solve :)

3S = 42

S = 14

So now given this we can use this to solve the other three lengths

M = 14 + 4 = 18

L = 14 + 9 = 23

the answer is c just got it on ed

step-by-step explanation:

6,250

step-by-step explanation:

to get the area, multiply 360 by 160.(57,600)

to find out how many bags of fertilizer it will take, first figure out how many square feet one bag can hold. divide 1000 by 8(125) to get the unit rate(how many square feet one pound of fertilizer can hold)and multiply it by 50(6250). if i haven't made a mistake, that is the answer.
