The question isn't clear enough :)
To answer the question above, let x be the shorter one of the pieces. With the variable, we can express the longer piece as 2x + 3. Based on the given, the sum of the lengths of these pieces should sum up to 14 ft.
2x + 3 + x = 14 ft, x = 3 2/3 ft
Substituting this value for the longer piece, we get 10 1/3 ft. Thus, the lengths of the pieces are 3 2/3 ft and 10 1/3 ft.
Answer:
X = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
6 - 4x = 6x - 8x + 8
-6. -6
-4x = -2x + 2
+2x. +2x
-2x = 2
divide both sides by -2
x = -1
