I can quite figure out how to go about this problem l, we are writing equations by defining a variable, writing an equation, then solving

14 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of segments of the divided wood beam

Let y represent the total length of the wood beam.

Given that each segment measures 3.5, the equation to express this scenario is given as

y = 3.5x

Thus, to find the length of the wood beam, substitute x = 4 into the equation.

We would have:

y = 3.5(4)

y = 14

Length of the wood beam = 14 ft

21

step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x

step-by-step explanation:

last month maria hiked the 5-mile mountain trail a number of times and she hiked the 10-mile canal trail several times. let x represent the number of times she hiked the 5-mile trail, and let y represent the number of times she hiked the 10-mile trail. if she hiked a total of 90 miles, which equation can be used to find the number of times maria hiked each trail? x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x
