Answer: the original length of the piece of wood is 23 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the original length of the piece of wood.

He cuts 3 feet off the piece of wood. This means that the remaining length of wood would be

(x - 3) feet

he cuts the remaining length of wood into four equal parts. if each part is 5 feet long, it means that

(x - 3)/4 = 5

Cross multiplying by 4, it becomes

x - 3 = 4 × 5

x - 3 = 20

x = 23

The sum of three consecutive numbers is 60. What are these three numbers?
Lena [83]

Answer:

The numbers are 19,20 and 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the first consecutive number

x+1 ---> the second consecutive number

x+2 --> the third consecutive number

we know that

x+(x+1)+(x+2)=60

Solve for x

3x+3=60

3x=57

x=19

so

x+1=19+1=20

x+2=19+2=21

therefore

The numbers are 19,20 and 21
