Isn't this a subtraction problem, not a multiplication problem?
If John starts out with 20 fish and lets 6 go, he still has (20-6), or 14, fish.
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

Answer:
2y^32
Step-by-step explanation:
Since 2^8 = 256, the eighth root of 256 is 2.
Next, we find the power of y by multiplying 256 and 1/8: result is 32.
Complete answer: 2y^32
