X = short section of rope
4x = longer section of rope
x + 4x = 25
5x = 25
x = 5
…or in other words the shorter piece of rope is 5 feet long
Answer:
8x-14=8x-14
Step-by-step explanation:
So if both the equations are the same, that means that any value of x put in the equation will equal itself, so that means that there are infinite solutions to the equation
If you try to solve this equation, this happens
8x-14=8x-14
add 14 to both sides
8x=8x
divide by 8 both sides
x=x
This means that there are infinite solutions because any number could be x and it would still work
A represents a function
This is the way
If the sum of two numbers is x
Then the equation is like this:
a+b = x
Then it says one of the number is 12. Change either a or b into 12
12 + b =x
If we want to find the other number, we need the make it into the subject
b = x - 12
Hope that help.
