The length of the shorter piece is 30

<h3>What are algebraic expressions?</h3>

Algebraic expressions are expressions that are made up of constants, terms, factors and variables.

They also contain mathematical operations such as division, addition, multiplication, subtraction, etc

From the information given, we have;

Let the length of one piece be x

Let of the other piece is 5x

5x + x = 180

collect like terms

6x = 180

Make 'x' the subject

x = 180/ 6

x = 30

Thus, the length of the shorter piece is 30

svetoff [14.1K]
9 longer sticks were used.
This is how i get it.

2. add both together, divide by 16 =8.125. Which means 1 of the stick should more than 8, and 1 of the other stick should be less than 8
3. substitute the equation
4.(55 x 7)+(75 x 9) =1060
