Answer:
x = -8.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's rearrange the question to find x :)
-8x + 6x + 10 - 8 = 19
-2x + 2 = 19
-2 -2
-2x = 17
/-2 /-2
x = -8.5
Answer:
1025 = 1000 x 1 + 100 x 0 + 10 x 2 + 5
Step-by-step explanation:
1025 = 1000 x 1 + 100 x 0 + 10 x 2 + 5
x = the length of one piece
y = the length of the other piece
the total length is 100 cm this means
x + y = 100
one piece is 16 inches longer than the other
first we need to convert inches to cm:
1 in = 2.54 cm
16 in = 2.54*16 = 40.64
now we can write
x = y + 40.64
by solving the system of equations
x + y = 100
x = y + 40.64
we find
x = 70.32 cm
y = 29.68 cm
the lengths of the two pieces are 70.32 cm and 29.68 cm.
