Answer:
shorter piece = 6. longer piece = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
short piece = s
long piece = l
l+s= 18
l= 6+s , substitute
6+s+s = 18
6+2s= 18
2s= 18-6
2s= 12
s=12/2
s= 6= shorter piece
l= 6+s
l= 6+6= 12 = longer piece

Answer:
x = 60°
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Pre-Algebra</u>
- Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
- Equality Properties
<u>Geometry</u>
- A box on an angle signifies a 90° angle
- All angles in a triangle add up to 180°
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Set up equation</u>
x° + 90° + 30° = 180°
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Combine like terms: x + 120 = 180
- Subtract 120 on both sides: x = 60°
Answer:
We end up with our original number
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be our number
We increase by 100
increase = old number * 100%
increase = x*1
increase = x
New number = old number + increase
= x+x
=2x
Now we decrease by 50%
decrease = number *50%
= 2x*.5
=x
Final number = new number - decrease
= 2x-x
=x
