Answer:

shorter piece: 2 feet

longer piece: 8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

let the shorter piece be x

then the longer piece will be 3x + 2

<u>if they join together</u>:

  • 3x + 2 + x = 10
  • 4x + 2 = 10
  • 4x = 10 -2
  • 4x = 8
  • x = 2

<u>Longer piece</u>:

  • 3x + 2
  • 3(2)+2
  • 8 feet

Answer:

x+3x+2=10

4x=10-2

4x=8

x=8/4

x=2 ft. for the shorter piece./

3*2+2=6+2=8 ft. for the longer piece.

Proof:

8+2=10

10=10

|7m–56|, if m&lt;8 write without using absolute value
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

56-7m

Step-by-step explanation:

l7m–56l m<8

so lets replace m with something smalller then 8, how about 7

so then it would be...

l 7 * 7 - 56 l=

l 49-56 l = l -7 l

but the absulute value of -7 is 7, so how does this help us? well lets see

56-49= 7  this proves that all we have to do is  switch the order giving us the solution 56-7m

hope this helped :)
