13 identically sized pieces of timber are x
cm long when put together. How long is each individual piece?

x/13 = y.

Step-by-step explanation: Let x represent the total length of the timber. Then, 13 will represent the number of pieces it will be divided into. Finally, y represents the length of each individual size.

(f - g)(x) = 5x^3 - 3

step-by-step explanation:

rearrange these functions vertically, with like terms in separate columns:

f(x) = 5x^3 - 2

g(x) =         +1

now subtract, column by column:

(f - g)(x) = 5x^3 - 3

a is the right answer
