Answer:
p - 3 = 8.25 and 11.25
Step-by-step explanation:
hi there!
the question is asking us to first find out which equation we can use to solve this wordy problem.
its not going to be answers 1 or 3 since they are adding/ multiplying more on to our wooden plank, when the question is stating that we are subtracting 3 inches off.
knowing that now, our answer is p - 3 = 8.25 or 4 !
now all we have to do is add 3 to 8.25 to get our answer of how long the plank was before we cut it
3 + 8.25
= 11.25
p = 11.25 <---------------- our final answer!
i hope this helped you! i hope you have a good rest of your day :)
( im sorry if this this late!! )
