The length of a piece of fabric is 8y yards. Landon cuts 7 yards from it to make some cushion covers. He then cuts another 3y yards to make a curtain. The remaining material is cut into 4 equal pieces. How long is each piece?

5 answers

Where is he cutting the 3 yards from?

If it is from the 8 yds, that won't work because you have cut 7 yards first.
8y-7-3y-4=0
5y-7/4
8y - 7 - 3y = 5y - 7
5y - 7 divided by 4 = 5y 7/4

Answer: 5y 7/4
(5y-7)/4
