Answer:

423

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by setting up a formula.

x = the shorter piece

total = 1313

longer piece = (x*2) + 44

x + (x*2) + 44 = 1313

Simplify

3x + 44 = 1313

Now we must solve for x.

Whatever you do on the left side of the equal sign must also be done on the right.

The goal is to get x by itself on the left side.

Do the easiest thing first, which is usually addition or subtraction. In this case, subtract 44 from both sides.

3x + 44 - 44 = 1313 - 44

3x = 1269

Now the only way to cancel out the 3 on the left is to divide by 3. Since 3/3 =1. Remember this must be done on both sides to keep things equal.

3x/3 = 1269/3

x=423

The End

Answer:

\mathbf{x=\frac{1}{2}} is the solution to the equation: 4x+12-8x=-1+2x+10

The statement is true.

Option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to determine if x=\frac{1}{2} is the solution to the equation: 4x+12-8x=-1+2x+10

Solving the equation first to find value of x

4x+12-8x=-1+2x+10

Combining like terms:

4x-8x+12=2x+10-1\\-4x+12=2x+9

Subtracting 2x on both sides

-4x+12-2x=2x+9-2x\\-4x-2x+12=9\\-6x+12=9

Now, subtracting 12 on both sides

-6x+12-12=9-12\\-6x=-3\\

Divide both sides by -6

\frac{-6x}{-6}=\frac{-3}{-6}\\x=\frac{1}{2}

So, we get  \mathbf{x=\frac{1}{2}}

Therefore we can say that \mathbf{x=\frac{1}{2}} is the solution to the equation: 4x+12-8x=-1+2x+10

The statement is true.

Option A is correct.
