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.

Twelve increased by a number
pochemuha

Answer:

12+# OR 12+x

Step-by-step explanation:

Increased by 12 means plus 12. The word "is" in equations is an equal sign. So far, you have 2n+12. On the other side of the equal sign, you have 31 less than 3 times a number.
