Sam and lou need a total of 1 foot of wire for a science project. sam wire is 8 out of 2 n lou is 7 out of 8.do they have enough.

How about you get a ruler and add all there inches up and see if you get 1 foot✔️✔️✔️

≈ 12 in = 1 ft. ≈
8/2 in = 4 in 
7/8 in = 7/8 in
4 + 7/8 = 4 7/8
No. They do not have enough.

2(10 - 13x) + 9x = -34x + 6020 - 26x + 9x = -34x + distributive property-17x = -34x + subtraction property (subtracted 20 from both sides)17x = addition property (added 34x to both sides)x = 40/ division property (divided both sides by 17)
