If itt says 4×3+6 it is 18 and it means you can either multiply first
Answer:the length of the shorter string= 36cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume the lengths are 2x and 7x since thery are in the ratio of 2 :7
Such that Length of the shorter string = 2x
and the longer string = 7x so that the difference in Length which is 90cm can be expressed as
7x- 2x= 90
5x= 90
x 90/5
x= 18
shorter string = 2 x = 2x 18= 36cm
Longer strring = 7x 18=126cm
Answer:
X = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the system of equation by susbtitution:
3x + y = 9
y = –4x + 10
We can follow the steps thus:
<em />
<em>Substitute the value of y in the first equation:</em>
As in the second equation y = -4x + 10 we can substitute in the first equation as follows:
3x + y = 9
3x + -4x + 10 = 9
<em>Combine like terms: </em>
3x + -4x + 10 = 9
Like therms are the therms with X (3x - 4x = -1x):
-1x + 10 = 9
<em>Apply the subtraction property of equality: </em>
-1x + 10 = 9
As 10 is suming, it passes to subtracting the 9:
-1x = 9 - 10
-1x = -1
<em>Apply the division property of equality:</em>
-1x = -1
Dividing in -1:
x = -1 / -1
<h3>X = 1</h3>
