Acarpenter has a board 18 1/2 feet long. he needs to cut as many 1 3/4 feet long pieces as possible. how many pieces can the carpenter cut? explain how you found your answer.

So you know that the carpenter has a board that is 18.5ft long and he wants to cut 1.75ft pieces.

Assume that x is the amount of boards he cuts,

1.75x = 18.5

Isolate x by dividing each side by 1.75.

x = 18.5/1.75 = 10.57 pieces.

step-by-step explanation:

option 3 . (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

step-by-step explanation:

option 1 :

(4x + 3) + (-9x + 4)

or 4x+3 -9x + 4

or -5x + 7

option 2

(x - 2) - (6x - 9)

or x-2-6x + 9

or -5x + 7

option 3

(5x+ + 6)

or 5x + 1 + 10x -6

or 15x -5

option 4

-4x+2x+7-3x

-7x + 2x + 7

-5x + 7

hence only option 3 did   not satisfy the given simplify expression.
