Question

PLZ HELP ME THANKS Solve each application using algebra. Write your equation or inequality and show your solving steps.... A 10-meter wire is cut into 2 unequal pieces. The large piece is 3 meters less than twice the smaller piece. Use algebra to determine the lengths of each piece

Answer 1

Answer:

4 1/3 m  and 5 2/3 m

Step-by-step explanation:

smaller piece -l

large piece=2*l-3

l+2l-3=10

3l-3=10

+3      +3

3l=13

:3   :3

l=13/3=4 1/3 m

L= 2*13/3  -3=26/3-9/3=17/3=5 2/3m

Answer 2

Answer:

$Small=4\frac{1}{3}$

$Large=5\frac{2}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Small = x

Large = 2x - 3

3x - 3 = 10

3x = 13

$x=\frac{13}{3}$

$Small=\frac{13}{3}$

$Large=5\frac{2}{3}$
