Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1/3(x-5)+171=x
or, (x-5)+513=3x ( multiplying both the sides with 3)
or, 3x - x= 513 - 5
or, 2x = 508
or, x = 508/2
or, x= 254
x = -3, y = -2
-3 + -2 = x + y = -5
Martha should calculate the exact amount of yeast she will need to make the bread rise.
short piece = x
long piece = 5x +1
x +5x +1 = 25
6x = 24
x = 24/6 = 4
short piece = 4 feet
long piece = 21 feet
