Consider the equation, where p is a real number coefficient.

from a board 4 feet 2 inches long, a board 3 feet 7 inches long is cut what is the lengh of the remaining board?

Math:

Well, you know that 12 inches goes into 1 foot.

So, let's start with just making everything into inches.

4 feet * 12 = 48+2 = 50 inches.

3*12 = 36 inches + 7 = 43 inches.
50 - 43 = 7.

Your answer:
7 inches.

For the equations given below, which statement is true?

Answer: C. The equations have the same solution because the second equation can be obtained by adding 6 to both sides of the first equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that the first equation is:

$-3x-8=19$

And the second equation is:

$-3x-2=25$

According to the Addition property of equality:

If $a=b$ ; then $a+c=b+c$

Then, you can add 6 to both sides of the first equation to keep it balanced. Then, you get:

$-3x-8=19\\\\-3x-8+(6)=19+(6)$

$-3x-2=25$

Therefore, you can observe that the second equation can be obtained by adding 6 to both sides of the first equation, therefore, the equations have the same solution.

If you want to verify this, you can solve for "x" from both equations:

- First equation:

$-3x-8=19\\\\-3x=19+8\\\\x=\frac{27}{-3}\\\\x=-9$
