This cannot be simplified any further.
Have a good one!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
24 x 23 = 552
20 x 23 = 460
4 x 23 = 92
460 + 92 = 552
Hey there!!
Let's take the length of the bigger piece as x inches
Then, the length of the smaller piece would be x - 8 inches
The sum of these lengths would be 54 inches
... x + x - 8 = 54
... 2x - 8 = 54
... Add 8 on both sides
... 2x = 62
... Divide 2 on both sides
... x = 31
Hence, the length of the bigger piece = 31 inches
The length of the smaller piece would be = 31 - 8 = 23 inches
Hope my answer helps!!
a) Write an expression to describe the journey of the yellow submarine.
-> ((0 - 40) + 30) - 25
[] Sea level = 0
[] The descend 40 meters = -40
[] After examining the sea, they rose 30 meters = + 30
[] They dove 25 meters to look at an octopus = -25
b) At what depth did they stop to look at the octopus?
-> -35 meters
[] The started at 0 (0), descended 40 (-40), rose 30 (-10), and then sove 25 (-35) to see the octopus
[] Another way to think of this is to simplify our previous expression completely
Have a nice day!
