Subtract the thickness of the known piece from the total thickness.
Because they have different denominators rewrite them to have the same.
9/32 x 2 = 18/64
Now you have 33/64 - 18/64 = 15/64
The other piece is 15/64 inch thick.
Answer:
We start with the equation:
A: 3*(x + 2) = 18
And we want to construct equation B:
B: X + 2 = 18
where I suppose that X is different than x.
Because in both equations the right side is the same thing, then the left side also should be the same thing, this means that:
3*(x + 2) = X + 2
Now we can isolate the variable x.
(x + 2) = (X + 2)/3
x = (X + 2)/3 - 2
Then we need to replace x by (X + 2)/3 - 2 in equation A, and we will get equation B.
Let's do it:
A: 3*(x + 2) = 18
Now we can replace x by = (X + 2)/3 - 2
3*( (X + 2)/3 - 2 + 2) = 18
3*( (X + 2)/3 ) = 18
3*(X + 2)/3 = 18
(X + 2) = 18
Which is equation B.
Answer:
opposite sides of a parallel are congruent.
Step-by-step explanation:
the symbol between AB and DC stands for "equal to", not parallel. boom roasted. (don't hate me if I'm wrong)
A, divide 2.5 by 5 and you get 0.5, multiply that by 9 and you get 4.5. A is the answer
