Answer:
8 inches, and 48 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
x+6x=56
Solve the equation.
7x=56
x=8
Interpret the results and write the answer in words.
The smaller piece is x = 8 in.
The longer piece is 6x = 6 (8) = 48 in.
The lengths of the two pieces are 8 in
and 48 in.
Answer:
8 inches
48 inches
total 56 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
x+6x = 56
7x = 56
Divide by 7
7x/7 = 56/7
x = 8
The smaller piece is x inches or 8 inches
The larger piece is 6x inches or 6*8 =48 inches
8+48 = 56 inches
The total length is 56 inches
