Answer
Roundworm is 9ft long and the tapeworm is 60 feet long
Step-by-step explanation:
If we turn this into an algebraic equation we get 8x-3=69 with 8x being x + 7x because we know that the tape worm is about 7 times longer than the round worm and the roundworms length would be x here. We have the -3 because it is 3 minus 7 times the total length. We do this and eventually end up with x = 9 which is the length of the roundworm. We multiply that by 7 to get 63 and subtract 3 to get 60. If you want to check if this is right do 60+9 and you'll get 69 which is the total of them end to end. (also 69 funny haha)
\left[x \right] = \left[ -3+\frac{3\,y}{2}\right][x]=[−3+23y] this is answer
