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.
Greetings!Simplify both sides of the equation.
Both sides of the equation are not equal.
Hope this helps.

Answer:
1. 50 m
2. 80 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
1. There are 2 triangles, subtract the area of 1 of them from the other.
The triangle that needs to be subtracted: b = 20 m, h = 10 m
A = 1/2b * h = 1/2(20) * 10 = 10*10 = 100 m
The big triangle, the one that needs to be subtracted plus the one you need to find the area of: b = 20 cm, h = 15 cm, 1/2(20) * 15 = 10 * 15 = 150
150 - 100 = 50 c
2. Divide it into 3 parts:
1- 3*4 = 12
2. 7*(4 + 4) = 7*8 = 56
3. [(4 + 4) * (13 - 7 - 3)]/2 = (8*3)/2 = 24/2 = 12
12 + 56 + 12 = 80 cm
Answer:
3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Because the total homework would be 25/25
15/20 can be reduced to 3/4
