A piece of wire is 240 cm long. Peter cuts two 45 cm lengths off the wire.
He then cuts the rest of the wire into as many 40 cm lengths as possible.
Work out how many 40 cm lengths of wire Peter cuts.

so 240-90cm he cut off=195cm. Then 45x2=80cm so 195-90cm=105cm.

Therefore, 105 divided by 40=2.625 so he cut off 6 pieces of 40cm lengths overall

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
