Yes that’s completely true because of course you can’t say it is false
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
Use the distributive property.
4(4a + 5) = 4 * 4a + 4 * 5 = 16a + 20
Answer: 16a + 20
So it means every 30 minutes he runs 6 miles
