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
LS = RS left side equals right side
The answer is correct.

Answer:
4, 10
Step-by-step explanation:
The value for the third side of the triangle is given by
b-a < n < b+a where a and b are the two other sides of the triangle and b>a
7-4 < n < 7+4
3 < n < 11
Since n is an integer
4 would be the smallest value and 10 would be the largest
90x + 4
Factor out GCF
2 ( 45x + 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
as you know, there are 12 months per year.
also, the word "annual" means "per year" (of again 12 months).
each worker gets 7,576 per month.
that means each worker gets an annual salary of
7,576 × 12 = 90,912
the salaries/wages of all 53 workers together in a year are then
90,912 × 53 = 4,818,336
