<span>These ones are correct:
Multiply the value of the first variable by one of the original equations to solve for the second variable.
</span><span>Solve for one of the variables
</span><span>Substitute the value of the known variable into one of the original equations to solve for the unknown variable.</span>
If he cuts the board into 7 pieces, that will require 6 cuts with his saw. Therefore, he will lose 6 * .125, or .75 feet for all of the cuts, resulting in 17.25 feet in total after the cuts.
Is there more to the problem? There isn’t enough information here.
The distance between is =|9|+|-6|=15.
We can find that
So 2/5 of the AB segment is 6 distance points away from A at point C=0.
