X - 8 = y
where x = the original length of the board
and y = the correct length of the board :)
More information is needed to find the original or end lengths of the board.
He has worked for 5 hours. 8 and 1/3 is equal to 24/3. Multiply that by 3/5 to get 75/15 which simplifies to 5.
z = m - x
To solve for x, we can treat this like a typical algebraic problem.
We need to isolate x on one side.
<em><u>Add x to both sides</u></em>
z + x = m
<u><em>Subtract z from both sides</em></u>
x = m - z
This should be the answer.
26 = 5 (x + 10) + 3x
26 = 5x + 50 + 15x
26 = 5x +15x + 50
26 = 20x + 50
26 - 50 = 20x - 50
-14 = 20x
-14 / 20 = x
-0.7 = x
Answer:
thanks I guess interesting tho
