Question

David has a hose that is 27 ft long. He wants to cut it into two pieces so that the longer piece is 3 ft more than 2 times the length of the shorter piece.
How long will each piece of hose be?

Shorter piece:
ft
Longer piece:
ft

Answer 1

Ok so the short one is 8 feet, the long is 19 feet. To find it do 24/3=8 then multiply 8 with 2 because it's double then add three to get 19! Hope this helps and mark as brainliest!

Answer 2

One piece is 8ft and the other is 19ft
