Answer:
D. -2x - 8
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Simplify 1/3(6x+15) to 6x+15/3
-6x+15/3 - 3
2) Factor out the common term 3.
-3(2x+5)/3 - 3
3) Cancel 3.
-(2x+5)-3
4) Remove parentheses.
-2x-5-3
5) Collect like terms.
-2x+(-5-3)
6) Simplify
-2x-8
Answer:
9 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Do the question algebraically, represented by this equation:
let x be the shorter piece
x + (x + 8) = 26 (longer piece is 8 units longer)
Remove brackets
x + x + 8 = 26 Combine like terms
2x + 8 = 26 Start isolating "x"
2x + 8 - 8 = 26 - 8 Subtract 8 from both sides
2x = 18
2x/2 = 18/2 Divide both sides by 2
x = 9 shorter piece
The shorter piece would be 9 inches.
If you needed the longer piece too:
longer piece = x + 8
x + 8
= 9 + 8
= 17
The longer piece would be 17 inches.
Check your answer:
Longer + Shorter = 26 Substitute the lengths
17 + 9 = 26 Add
26 = 26 same number
LS = RS left side equals right side
The answer is correct.
