A piece of wire is cut into two pieces. That means each part would be assigned an unknown variable. Let one part be x and the other part be y.
That means,
If the longer part is x, and the longer part is 3cm longer than the shorter part, then we would have the following;
We can now refine the equation as follow;
ANSWER:
The length of the shorter piece of wire is 6cm
Start at 4.
So far you have: 4
Now you go 7 units left. Going left means a subtraction. Going 7 units left means subtracting 7.
So far you have: 4 - 7
The result is -3.
The subtraction is:
4 - 7 = -3
B^n / b^m = b^(n - m)
4^5 / 4^2 = 4^(5 - 2) = 4^3
