<span>Let's first establish "x" for the first piece of steel. The second one is going to be "2x" and the 3rd piece will be 5x+1. Now we can set ou the equation as:
x+2x+5x+1=25 Combine like terms to get:
8x+1=25 Now subtract 1 from both sides to result in:

</span><span>8x=24 Divide 8 into both sides to get:
x=3 inches for the first one. 
I'll let you figure the lengths of the other 2 pieces.</span><span>

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

a,b and c are the sides of a triangle if it satisfies:

a<b+c  , b<a+c and c<b+a

Here, a=4 and b=7

We have to find c

i.e. all those c which satisfies:

4<7+c , 7<4+c and c<4+7=11

A.3   it is not true since it doesn't satisfies second inequality

B.5   it is true

C.7   it is true

D.9   it is true

E.11   This is clearly false, since it doesn't satisfies inequality third

F.17 This is clearly false, since it doesn't satisfies inequality third

Hence, correct options are:

B.5

C.7

D.9
