Answer:

4 1/3 inches   Smaller piece

16 2/3 inches   Larger piece

Step-by-step explanation:

x + (2x + 8) = 21

3x + 8 = 21

3x = 13

x = 13/3

x = 4 1/3 inches   Smaller piece

2x + 8 = 8 2/3 + 8

2x + 8 = 16 2/3 inches   Larger piece

Determine the value of the variable. 5 + 17 = J - 14
Nataly_w [17]
You would add 5 and 17 and that would equal 22
Now it would be 22=J-14
Then add 14 on both sides so it cancels out 22 plus 14 is 36
So J would equal 36
