26 ft 11 1/4 inches minus 26 ft 8 1/16 inch
26-26 = 0
so you need to subtract the inches
so you have 11 1/4 = 8 1/16
11-8 = 3 inches
1/4 = 1/16 - find common denominator ( 16)
1/4 = 4/16, 4/16-1/16 = 3/16
the jump was 3 3/16 inches longer
Add the two rows together
3x = 12
Solve for x in the above equation
x = 4
Substitute x = 4 into any of the two equations above. Let's choose the first one; 2x - y = 6
2 × 4 - y = 6
Solve for y in the above equation
y = 2
Thus,
<u>x = 4</u>
<u>y = 2</u>
10 cubed times 300 equals 1,600
