Question

A rope 63 feet long is cut into two pieces. One of the pieces is three times longer than the other piece. Which system of equations yields the length of the short rope, s, and the long rope, l? A) s + l = 63 l = 3s B) s + l = 63 s = 3l C) s + l = 63(3) l = 3s D) s + l = 63(3) s = 3l

Answer 1

I think it should be A) s + l = 63 and l = 3s
