A ​258-inch board is cut into two pieces. One piece is five times the length of the other. Find the length of the shorter piece.

u = -(6/7)w

step-by-step explanation:

place all values with 'u' on one side of the equation.

4u + 8w = - 3u + 2w

4u + 3u = 2w - 8w

further simplify the equation by solving the addition and subtraction.

7u = - 6w

make 'u' the independent variable by placing its co-efficient on the right-hand side.

u = - (6/7)w

if i put something wrong your not gonna like it so rather not say nothing.

step-by-step explanation:

i'm pretty sure it would take 20 hours because it's half the men so you multiply the number of hours it takes by 2

the answer is 5/14.

hope this .
