Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

We are given: 18x - 2(3x + 1) = 5x - 16

First, lets distribute the -2 to the 3x and 1.

18x - 6x - 2 = 5x - 16

Now, we combine like terms.

12x - 2 = 5x - 16

Next, we add 2 to each side.

12x = 5x -14

Now, we subtract 5x from both sides.

7x = -14

Finally, we divide by 7 on both sides.

x = -2

Statements: Reasons:

18x - 2(3x + 1) = 5x - 16 Given

18x - 6x - 2 = 5x - 16 Distributive Property of Equality

12x - 2 = 5x - 16 Combine like terms

12x = 5x -14 Addition Property of Equality

7x = -14 Subtraction Property of Equality

x = -2 Division Property of Equality

Ken has a pole that is 26 inches long. He wishes to cut it into two pieces so that one piece will be 8 inches longer than the ot

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

9 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Do the question algebraically, represented by this equation:

let x be the shorter piece

x + (x + 8) = 26 (longer piece is 8 units longer)

Remove brackets

x + x + 8 = 26 Combine like terms

2x + 8 = 26 Start isolating "x"

2x + 8 - 8 = 26 - 8 Subtract 8 from both sides

2x = 18

2x/2 = 18/2 Divide both sides by 2

x = 9 shorter piece

The shorter piece would be 9 inches.

If you needed the longer piece too:

longer piece = x + 8

x + 8

= 9 + 8

= 17

The longer piece would be 17 inches.

Check your answer:

Longer + Shorter = 26 Substitute the lengths

17 + 9 = 26 Add

26 = 26 same number

LS = RS left side equals right side

The answer is correct.

Use the three steps to solve the problem.

Flauer [41]

The two numbers are 8,13.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

smaller number = x

Larger number = x+5

According to given statement;

Smaller number + Bigger number = 3x-3

$x+(x+5)=3x-3\\x+x+5=3x-3\\2x+5+3=3x\\8 = 3x-2x\\8=x\\x=8$

Smaller number = 8

Larger number = 8+5 = 13

The two numbers are 8,13.
