Question

A 37 foot board must be cut into two parts. The longer part is one foot larger than the twice the shorter part. How long is each part.

Answer 1

Answer:

12 ft  and 25 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

a part is x ft and the other is (2x+1) ft

so 37= x  + 2x+1

   37= 3x+1

  -1        -1

   36= 3x

    :3     :3

   x= 36:3

  I=  x= 12 ft

 II= 2x+1=2*12+1=25 ft
