Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
- Length of the one portion of the board = x feet
- Length of the another portion = (7x – 9) feet
According to the question,
Total length = Sum of the length of the two pieces
Total length = {x + (7x – 9)} feet
Total length = {x + 7x – 9} feet
<u>Total length = (8x – 9) feet</u>
Therefore, the total length of the board as a simplified expression in x is (8x – 9) feet.
Answer:
Apples = 24
Pears = 40
Step-by-step explanation:
Let u be the unit of fruit in the basket,
number of apples: 
number of pears: 
now to find u, we equate the two equations.
Now simplify.
Now we can find the original number of apples and pears by substituting u.
so original number of apples = 
and original number of pears = 
The answer is C.
Point G can be centroid because 12:6 equals 2:1
FG = 6
FC = 18
so
GC = 12
12:6 = 2:1
One can solve this by first using order of operations, and then combining like terms.
First is parenthesis
9x + 2x(9) - 2(9x)
Now we do the multiplication
9x + 18x - 18x
Now we combine like terms
9x
Answer:
the difference is number 4
