The total length of the rope = 32 ft
It is cut into two sections, say x and y
But one section is seven times the other, say y=7x (shorter section being x)
Solving for x
x+y =32
x+7x = 32
8x=32
x=32/8 = 4 ft.
Therefore, the shorter piece is 4 ft long.
<span>3y = x + 6
y – x = 3 -----------> x=y - 3 (substitute in 1st equation)
3y = y - 3 +6
3y - y = 3
2y = 3
y = 2/3
x= y - 3 = 2/3 -3 = 2/3 - 9/3 = - 7/3
</span>x= - 7/3, y = 2/3<span>
