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:
1. x=4
2. x=6
Step-by-step explanation:
I've attached the graphs here:
Clearly, the solution for first one is(Reminder: the solution is the x-intercepts, when y is zero):
x=4
And the second is:
x=6
Hope this helps!
Mark brainliest if you think I helped! Would really appreciate!
Lets try 96
4 x ?= 96
? = 96/4
= 24
So we see that 4 times 24 is close to 97.
Do u still need the answer to this problem its been 2 weeks now!!
