Answer:
27 - 50k
Simplify
1. Distribute
-5 ( 1 + 2k ) - 8 ( -4 + 5k )
-5 - 10k - 8 ( -4 + 5k )
2. Distribute
-5 - 10k - 8 ( -4 + 5k )
-5 - 10k + 32 - 40k
3. Add the numbers
-5 - 10k + 32 - 40k
27 - 10k - 40k
4. Add the same term to both sides of the equation
27 - 10k - 40k
27 - 50k

Pieces of yarn .... 1/8 yard long (each)
a piece of yarn ... n = 3 yards long
remaining ... 1 1/4 yards = 5/4 yards
If you would like to calculate how many 1/8 yard pieces can Sarah cut and still have 1 1/4 yards left, you can do this using the following steps:
n - 1 1/4 = <span>3 - 1 1/4 </span>= 3 - 5/4 = 12/4 - 5/4 = 7/4 = 1 3/4 yards
7/4 / 1/8 = 7/4 * 8/1 = 14 pieces
Result: Sarah can cut 14 1/8 yard pieces and still have 1 1/4 yards left.
