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 ....
