Each piece is x inches long. If she cut 5 inches from x, then it's now x-5 inches long.

This is equal to 3 inches (given) so equate the two expressions and isolate x

x-5 = 3
x-5+5 = 3+5
x = 8

Each piece is 8 inches long. There are 3 pieces. Therefore the original ribbon was 24 inches long (8*3 = 24).

The word "solution" means . . .

88 is a solution to 1/8x=11 because . . .

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

✔️The word solution means the value of the unknown variable, x. This means, when the value of x is substituted into the equation, the equation becomes balance as the value on the left equals the value on the right.

✔️88 is a solution to ⅛x = 11 because:

if we substitute x for 88 into the equation, both sides would be equal.

Thus:

⅛×88 = 11

11 = 11

Explain the steps that are necessary to solve 4x - 2(x + 3) = x + 1
Sidana [21]
So you would distribute what's in the parenthesis and end up with 4x-2x-6=x+1, then you combine like terms and end up with 2x-6=x+1, now you can add 6 to both sides or subtract 1 both sides (basically anything goes for this step just make sure you apply the same thing on both sides) so I'll add 6 and continue just to show you... then you end up with 2x=x+7 then you subtract 1x on both sides to get x=7. sorry it's a lot hopefully you get it know!
