Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
9 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Do the question algebraically, represented by this equation:
let x be the shorter piece
x + (x + 8) = 26 (longer piece is 8 units longer)
Remove brackets
x + x + 8 = 26 Combine like terms
2x + 8 = 26 Start isolating "x"
2x + 8 - 8 = 26 - 8 Subtract 8 from both sides
2x = 18
2x/2 = 18/2 Divide both sides by 2
x = 9 shorter piece
The shorter piece would be 9 inches.
If you needed the longer piece too:
longer piece = x + 8
x + 8
= 9 + 8
= 17
The longer piece would be 17 inches.
Check your answer:
Longer + Shorter = 26 Substitute the lengths
17 + 9 = 26 Add
26 = 26 same number
LS = RS left side equals right side
The answer is correct.
X + y = 12 . . . . . . . . (1)
x - 3y = -30 . . . . . . . (2)
(1) - (2): 4y = 42
y = 10.5
2x3=6. So the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) is 6
<u><em>Answer: =1024. *The answer must be have positive sign.*</em></u>
Step-by-step explanation:
This question's it's about the order of operations. p-parenthesis, e-exponents, m-multiply, d-divide, a-add, and s-subtract. It can also go left to right.
do exponents first.
16³/2=4098=2048¹/2
2048¹=2048
2048/2
divide left to right.
2048/2=1024
Hope this helps!
Thanks!
Have a great day!
