length of the first shelf. The third shelf is 12 centimeters shorter than the first shelf. The remaining shelf is 4 centimeters longer than the first shelf. If Robert must use the entire 2.5 meter board for the shelves, what is the length of the second shelf, in centimeters?

<span>there are 100 centimeters in a meter. 

therefore 2.5 meters = 2.5 * 100 = 250 centimeters. 

x = the length of the first board.
2x + 18 = the length of the second board.
x - 12 = the length of the third board.
x + 4 = the length of the fourth board. 

the total length of all the boards is equal to 5x + 10, 

since the total length of the board is 250 centimeters, then you get: 

5x + 10 = 250 

</span><span>solve for x to get x = 48 centimeters. 

the 4 board lengths are: 

x = 48
2x + 18 = 114
x - 12 = 36
x + 4 = 52 

add them up and you get a total of 250 centimeters. 

250 centimeters / 100 = 2.5 meters. 

this confirms the solution is good.
