Can somebody help me with my homework because I have no clue what to do with it. So can somebody can help with problems 1, 3, and 12 for instance?

Name: Michelle
Period: in 30 days?
Revd: 16
1: We can say that the total of the length is 9, so:
(3x - 2) + (x-1) = 9
3x + x = 9 - 3
4x = 6
x = 6/4
x = 1.5
SO: (3x - 2) = (3x1.5 - 2)= 4.5 - 2 = 2.5
and
x - 1 = 1.5 - 1 = 0.5
You're welcome!! thank you for the test... revoir ~~
