Set it up as an equation. "A number" is x.
2x-2=x+64
Move all of the x terms to one side by subtracting x from both sides, then add 2 to both sides to isolate x.
X=66
The number is 66
This might look hard at first, but if you break it down into parts, it will be much easier. With that said, start with what you know. You see that the word problem says "the difference of y and 9", which means that you have to stubtract them. So, part of the equation is going to be y - 9. Now to look at the rest of the word problem. It says to divide by 3, so now you have to take what you have so far and divide that by 3. This means that you are going to have to divide the y - 9 by 3.
Your answer should be:
y - 9 / 3

Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Wire is 4 1/2 feet, or 4.5 feet.
Each smaller wire needs to be 1 1/4 feet, or 1.25 feet.
<em>How many whole 1.25 feet wire can we have from total of 4.5 feet wire?</em>
<em />
Let's divide:
\
<em>thus we can have 3 whole "1.25 feet long" wire and fractional amount.</em>
<em />
<em>Hence, maximum number of smaller pieces is 3</em>
Hey!
Your answer is solved below/above idk wherever just see in the picture.
