Let numbers be x and y
ATQ
Adding both



Now putting value in eq(2)



I will assume that by "Evaluate 8(7x--3) when x=9" you meant:
"Evaluate 8(7x-3) when x=9."
First, substitute 9 for x in 7x-3: 7(9)-3 = 60. Rewrite the problem as:
8(60). Multiply. Answer: 480
Answer:
-3 and 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
56 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of the lengths of the pieces is 3:4.
The longer piece is 32 cm.
We set up a proportion to find the length of the smaller piece.
Let the length of the smaller piece be x.
3 is to 4 as x is to 32
3/4 = x/32
4x = 3 * 32
4x = 96
x = 24
The smaller piece is 24 cm.
24 cm + 32 cm = 56 cm
