A 30 foot board is cut into two pieces.how long is each piece if the second piece is 3 feet longer than twice the first piece
2 answers:
The first piece is 9 feet and the second piece is 21 feet. Explanation: We know that a 30 foot board is cut into two pieces and that the second piece is three feet longer than twice the first piece. Let the first piece = x Let the second piece = 2x + 3 x + 2x + 3 = 30 Combine like terms 3x + 3 = 30 Subtract 3 from both sides 3x = 27 Divide 3 from both sides and we get: x = 9 The first piece is 9 feet and now we need to find the second piece. We can use the first piece to find the second piece. Substitute 9 for x: 2(9) + 3 18 + 3 = 21 So the second piece is 21 feet. 21 + 9 = 30 feet
Answer:
First piece would be 9 feet, second would be 21.

Trish is correct because whatever number starts the tree equals 48 anyway. The numbers that matters is if you follow through when factoring out the whole tree of 48.
