Respuesta :

let 1 piece be x, then the other is 5x add together
x+5x=96
6x=96
x=16

the pieces are 16 and 80 inches

The lengths of the two pieces will be 16 inches and 80 inches.

What is Algebra?

The analysis of mathematical representations is algebra, and the handling of those symbols is logic.

A 96 ​inches board is cut into two pieces.

One piece is five times the length of the other.

Let x be the length of the piece.

Then the other length of the piece will be 5x. Then the equation will be

x + 5x = 96

     6x = 96

        x = 16 inches

Then the length of the other will be

5x = 5 × 16 = 80 inches
