Let x = the length of the shorter piece
x+x+16=50in
2x=50-16
2x=34
x=17
Then
x+16=17+16
x+16=33
Subtract 16 from both sides
The lengths are 17in and 33in
20/18+5/18=25/18
25/18 can be written as mixed fraction 1 7/18
Since you have an equation equal to both x and y, you can either substitute the equation equal to x for x or the equation equal to y for y.
x=y-1
y=4-2x
I would substitute the y in using 4-2x
x=(4-2x)-1
x=3-2x
3x=3
x=1
Then plug in x and solve for y
1=y-1
2=y
<em><u>The reciprocal property is:</u></em>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that,
<em><u>The reciprocal property is given as:</u></em>
The reciprocal of a fraction is the numerator and denominator switched
Therefore,
By reciprocal property,
Switch the numerator and denominator of right side fraction as well as left side fraction
The we get,
Thus option C is correct
