6(5)-4(3)
30-12
Answer: 18
Shorter piece = x
Longer piece = 2x
x + 2x = 33
3x = 33
x = 11 feet
2x = 11 × 2
2x = 22 feet
So one piece will be 11 feet and the other will be 22 feet.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
x=0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+y= -2
and
4x+y= -8 so...
2x+y= -2 = 4x+y= -8
2x+4x= 6x
y+y=2y
-2+-8= -10
6x+2y= -10
2y- -10= 12
6x=12
6/12=0.5
x=0.5
