drawing the line 50inch

Ok...

Please think about this: If X=the length of the shortest piece then the lengths are: X inches, X+1 inches, X+2 inches and X+3 inches... and the sum of the four lengths = 50 inches

 

x+x+1+x+2+x+3=50
4x=50-6
4x=44
x=11

 

x+x+1+x+2+x+3=50
4x=50-6
4x=44
x=11

So far so good! --- Now what are the lengths of the other pieces?

I'm bound to say you'd see better results were you to focus on the problems as opposed to 'touring' the site every five minutes!

x=11
12
13
14

 

x=11
12
13
14

Correct! --- But remember there are units (CIP inches) - not merely numbers...

Here's your next exercise:
An author is paid by the following royalty schedule: $1.05 for each copy sold up a certain cut-off point, and $1.20 thereafter. If she earns $15,090 from sales of 13,200 copies of her book, what is the cut-off point?

 

An author is paid by the following royalty schedule: $1.05 for each copy sold up a certain cut-off point, and $1.20 thereafter. If she earns $15,090 from sales of 13,200 copies of her book, what is the cut-off point?

per book price $15,090/13200=1.14$

 

Hint: How many books did she sell at $1.05???

 

Remember the technique of simultaneous equations??? --- As I said - It'll make life much easier!!!

let price of be x
$x+$1.05=no idea

 

what is royalty schedule?

 

I don't understand meaning will he get money or he has to pay tax?
An author is paid by the following royalty schedule

 

what is royalty schedule?

A payment agreement for published work...

She is payed $1.05 for the first X books then she is payed $1.20 per book thereafter....

$1.05 for the first X books
$1.20 for the first y books
$15,090 from sales of 13,200 copies of her book

 

Yes that's a statement of the stipulations -- so....?

But how to solve ?
Stipulation definition, a condition, demand, or promise in an agreement or contract.

 

Eliminate a variable in one equation by substituting it with its solution via the other...

 

Eliminate a variable in one equation by substituting it with its solution in the other...

how?

 

Remember how you did it last week?

 

Let x = the number of books sold at $1.05
Let y= the number of books sold at at $1.20

-- So --

We know that x+y = the total sales (13,200 books)
We know that $1.05*X + 1.2*Y = the total proceeds ($15,090)

You take it from there...
