Two rolls of butcher paper contains 650 feet of paper in 1254 feet of paper respectively solve for or the number of pieces that can be cut from both rolls of butcher paper if each piece is 34 feet long

no. of whole pieces that can be cut from 650ft roll= 650÷34=19 (lower whole number)

no. of pieces that can be cut from 1254ft roll= 1254÷34= 36 (lower whole number)

no. of pieces from both rolls= 36+19= 55

n=9

step-by-step explanation:

7 times a number = 7n

decreased by 13 = 7n-13

same as is =

5 times the number = 5n

increased by 5 = 5n+5

7n-13 = 5n+5

2n=18

n=9
