Answer:
33
Step-by-step explanation:
let the shorter piece be x m
then the longer piece is 41-x
"The short piece is 25 meters shorter then the long piece"
or
the difference between the longer and the shorter is 19
--->
(41-x) - x = 25
41-x-x = 25
-2x = 25-41
-2x = -16
divide both sides by -2
x = 8
I defined x to be the short piece ---- 8
I defined 41-x to be the longer --- 41-8 = 33
Answer:
y = 394
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The ratio of boys to girls to 5:7
Let the number of boys be 5x
Let the number of girls be 7x
5x = 30
x = 6
Now just plug in 6 for the x in 7x
and number of girls 7 x 6 = 42
I believe it is the second one... I think = is for numbers only.
-1/8 -2/8 -3/8 because any fraction is ok, they don't have 0 as a denominator.
