x=6 metres and -3x

Step-by-step explanation:

let the lenght of the shorter piece be x metres. so, the larger piece will be 5x metres. and the sum of the two lenghts should be equal to 36.

so, 5x + x = 36

so 6x=36

so x=6 metres. ans!

Six less than three = 3 - 6 = -3

A number?  Let's pick "x" for the number.

Then six less than three times a number is:

-3x

the answer is b.

step-by-step explanation:

by the trigonometric ratio tangent, tangent equals opposite divided by adjacent.

therefore, tan(50) equals ac/3

multiply each side by 3 to get: ac=3tan(50)

the answer is b.

i think the answer is seven, for if i'm being useless °ω°
