A = first piece, b = second piece, c = third piece

a + b + c = 47
b = 3a
c = 5a + 2

a + (3a) + (5a + 2) = 47.....combine like terms
9a + 2 = 47
9a = 47 - 2
9a = 45
a = 45/9
a = 5 ft

b = 3a.....b = 3(5)....b = 15 ft
c = 5a + 2....c = 5(5) + 2.....c = 25 + 2....c = 27 ft

longest piece (c) = 27 ft

Distributive property of <br>4x 567​
Maksim231197 [3]

567 = 500+60+7

4*567 = 4*(500+60*7)

4*567 = 4*500 + 4*60 + 4*7 ... see note below

4*567 = 2000 + 240 + 28

4*567 = 2268

--------

note: multiply the outer term 4 by each term inside the parenthesis to use the distributive property. The general distributive property is a*(b+c) = a*b+a*c. This can be extended to a*(b+c+d) = a*b+a*c+a*d. You can have as many terms as you like inside the parenthesis.
