Aball of string is 50 yards long. a shipper uses 5 yards of string to tie packages. the remaining string is then cut into 7 equal pieces. what is the length of each of the 7 pieces of string.

each piece is about 6.43 yards long

yo answer should be 6 if im not mistaken

step-by-step explanation:

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
