Answer 1

Answer:

x = 6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 3 = 10

2x = 10 + 3

2x = 13

x = 6.5

Answer 2

Answer:

Small piece is 4.3

Large piece is 5.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let small piece be x

Large piece will be 2x-3

x + 2x - 3 = 10

3x -3 = 10

x = 13/3

Large piece will be 2*13/3 -3 = 17/3
