A student solves the problem to the left as shown. Which statements describe the solution? Check all of the boxes that apply

the stated solution is correct (16 & 8)

based on the way the variable is defined ; should be x+2x=24

the way is variable is defined, and because x-=16, longer piece would be 32 and thats not possible

Step-by-step explanation:

answer: 4 meters

step-by-step explanation: to you understand 2/3 better you can do 1 divided by 3 = . then multiply that by the 2 which is .66666666666666667 then you would do 6 x .66666666666666667 which is 4.      

hope this .

-8/2y-8=5/y+4-7y+8/y^2-16

we move all terms to the left:

-8/2y-8-(5/y+4-7y+8/y^2-16)=0

we can not solve this equation
