-t=9(t-10)
-t=9t-90
90=9t+t
90=10t
90/10=t
9=t

X = - 7 - y ( - 7 - y ) y = 12y = - 3 or y = - 4x = - 7 - ( - 3) or x = - 7 - ( - 4)( - 4, - 3)( - 3, - 4)
Lowest common denominator for 3,4,6 is 12
5/6 = 10/12
1/4 = 3/12
2/3 = 8/12
a)
10/12 + 3/12 = 13/12 = 1 1/12
So you need to use first and second cables
b)
3/12 + 8/12 = 11/12
To reach 1 yard Carl need 1/12 yard cable
