Answer: This one is D.110! ☺️
Answer:
n = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
3(n+7)=48
distribute
3n +21 = 48
subtract 21 from each side
3n = 48-21
3n = 27
divide by 3
3n/3 = 27/3
n = 9
x = the length of one piece
y = the length of the other piece
the total length is 100 cm this means
x + y = 100
one piece is 16 inches longer than the other
first we need to convert inches to cm:
1 in = 2.54 cm
16 in = 2.54*16 = 40.64
now we can write
x = y + 40.64
by solving the system of equations
x + y = 100
x = y + 40.64
we find
x = 70.32 cm
y = 29.68 cm
the lengths of the two pieces are 70.32 cm and 29.68 cm.
I'm assuming it is -m, +m, -m, +m etc..
