Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given statement two pieces are of same length:

If the length of one piece is x,

Then the length of other piece is also x.

And one piece is 2 feet longer than the other two = x+2

Total length of a board = 10 foot

Now make the equation from these terms:

x+x+x+2= 10

This is the equation of the given question.

You can further solve this equation:

x+x+x+2=10

3x+2=10

Now combine the constants:

3x=10-2

3x=8

x=8/3

x=2.67

It means that the length of two pieces of same length is 2.67

And the length of one piece which is longer than the other two = x+2 = 2.67+2 = 4.67 ....

Let g(x) = 3x + 2 If g(x) = 11 find x
Aleks [24]

Answer:

See below:

Step-by-step explanation:

So, for starters, g(x) is just a fancy way of saying that it is a function, it's basically used as y and you can usually use g(x) or y whenever you want unless its a special situation.

So we can replace g(x) with y as there aren't any other functions we need to deal with.

y = 3x + 2

y = 11

Now that its simplified, we can see its a simple problem

After combining, we get 11 = 3x + 2

After solving, we get x = 3
