Hey there!!

Let's take the length of the bigger piece as x inches

Then, the length of the smaller piece would be x - 8 inches

The sum of these lengths would be 54 inches

... x + x - 8 = 54

... 2x - 8 = 54

... Add 8 on both sides

... 2x = 62

... Divide 2 on both sides

... x = 31

Hence, the length of the bigger piece = 31 inches

The length of the smaller piece would be = 31 - 8 = 23 inches

Hope my answer helps!!

Koran is spending $12 on games and rides at another carnival, where a game costs $0.25 and a ride costs $1.
Vlad [161]

Answer:

0.25x+y=12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

y ----> the number of rides

x ---> the number of games

we know that

The number of rides multiplied by  $1 plus the number of games multiplied by $0.25 must be equal to $12 (the dollar amount Koran is spending)

so

The equation that represent this situation is

0.25x+y=12
