Let x = the length of the shorter piece
x+x+16=50in
2x=50-16
2x=34
x=17
Then
x+16=17+16
x+16=33
Subtract 16 from both sides
The lengths are 17in and 33in
Both the top and bottom are divisible by three, and 13/9ths cannot be simplified anymore
Answer:
x=3
y=0
i hope this helps:)
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is C if you think think about it
You get the answer x+5/x+3.
This is because all of the fractions have the same denominator, so just add the numerators and put them over x+3.
