Given:
Reese read twice as many pages Saturday than she read Sunday.
She read a total of 78 pages over the weekend.
To find:
The number of pages she read on Sunday.
Solution:
Let x be the number of pages she read on Sunday.
Reese read twice as many pages Saturday than she read Sunday. So, the number of pager she read on Saturday is 2x.
Total number of page she read over the weekend is:
She read a total of 78 pages over the weekend.
Therefore, Reese read 26 pages on Sunday.
Well, that's incorrect because according to the Order of Operation [GEMS\BOMDAS\PEMDAS etc.], that -7 has to be distributed amongst all the other terms in parentheses. Besides, you did the wrong operation when you inserted that subtraction symbol in substitution of the parentheses, which means to MULTIPLY. So, the order goes as follows:
12 - 7[72]
-504 + 12 = -492 [OR 12 - 504]
-492 is your answer. You get it now?
Answer:
The first piece is 5 inches long, while the second is 15 inches and the third one is 20 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine the length of the 3 pieces, knowing that the total of the board is 40 inches, and that the second measures 3 times more than the first and the third measures 4 times more than the first, the following equation must be performed:
X + 3X + 4X = 40
8X = 40
X = 40/8
X = 5
Therefore, the first piece is 5 inches long, while the second is 15 inches and the third 20 inches.
