The lengths of rods a and b are 120cm and 96cm respectively. after a rod of equal length is cut from each rod, the ratio of the length of a to that of b becomes 10 : 7. find the length of the rod cur from a

The length of rod cut from A is 40 cm

Solution:

Given that,

length of rod A = 120 cm

length of rod B = 96 cm

After a rod of equal length is cut from each rod, the ratio of the length of a to that of b becomes 10 : 7

Let "x' be the length of rod cut from rod A and rod B

After that, now length becomes,

length of rod A = 120 - x

length of rod B = 96 - x

Their ratio is equal to 10 : 7

Therefore, we get

Thus the length of rod cut from A is 40 cm

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

24−3x=−27

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

24−3x=−27

24+−3x=−27

−3x+24=−27

step 2: subtract 24 from both sides.

−3x+24−24=−27−24

−3x=−51

step 3: divide both sides by -3.

−3x

−3

=

−51

−3

x=17

answer:

x=17
