Define x:
-------------------------------------------
Let the shorter piece be x.
Shorter piece = x
Longer piece = 6x
-------------------------------------------
Construct equation:
-------------------------------------------
x +6x =35
7x = 35
x =5
-------------------------------------------
Find the length:
-------------------------------------------
Shorter length = x = 5 feet
Larger length = 6x = 6(5) = 30 feet
-------------------------------------------
Answer: The shorter piece is 5 feet.

Answer:
its 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
8 = 3x + -1
Reorder the terms:
8 = -1 + 3x
Solving
8 = -1 + 3x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-3x' to each side of the equation.
8 + -3x = -1 + 3x + -3x
Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0
8 + -3x = -1 + 0
8 + -3x = -1
Add '-8' to each side of the equation.
8 + -8 + -3x = -1 + -8
Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0
0 + -3x = -1 + -8
-3x = -1 + -8
Combine like terms: -1 + -8 = -9
-3x = -9
Divide each side by '-3'.
x = 3
Simplifying
x = 3 this took forever to type hope it helped
