Let one piece be x.

Other piece is 3 times as long = 3x

The sum of both pieces would be equal to 8

x + 3x =  8

4x = 8

x = 8/4

x = 2

The shorter piece is x long.

The shorter piece is 2 feet long.

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x, use inverse operations:

-8x+3 = -29               Subtract 3 from both sides

-8x +3 -3 = -29 -3

-8x = -32                    Divide both sides by -8

x = 4
