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.

lisabon 2012 [21]

you would multiply 10 x -12 by distributing the 10 into the parenthesis.

The answer would be negative because a postive times a negative is a negative.
