For a recent year, 38 more Democrats than Republicans represented a country. If the total number of representatives of the country from these two parties was 452, find the number of representatives from each party.

Solve the equation.

Interpret the results and write the answer in words.

The smaller piece is x = _ in.
The longer piece is _x = _ ( ) = _ in.
The lengths of the two pieces are _ in
and _ in.

Part 1 of 2
_ in

Part 2 of 2
_ in

Second question isn't well formatted

Number of republicans = 207

Number of democrats = 245

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

Number of republicans = x

Number of democrats = x + 38

Total number of representatives from the two parties = 452

Tge number of representatives from each party can be calculated thus ;

Number of democrats + number of republicans = total number of representatives

(x + 38) + x = 452

x + 38 + x = 452

2x = 452 - 38

2x = 414

x = 414 / 2

x = 207

Number of republicans = 207

Number of democrats = 207 + 38 = 245

-362

step-by-step explanation:

(12)(4)+2(12)-34(12)+2(12)-3

  \/         \/         \/         \/

  48 +   24 -   408 + 24 - 3

      \   /               \   /

          72     -     432 - 3 = -363

dont trust me im no expert these losers made me fail a test bro this sucks
