A = first piece, b = second piece, c = third piece
a + b + c = 47
b = 3a
c = 5a + 2
a + (3a) + (5a + 2) = 47.....combine like terms
9a + 2 = 47
9a = 47 - 2
9a = 45
a = 45/9
a = 5 ft
b = 3a.....b = 3(5)....b = 15 ft
c = 5a + 2....c = 5(5) + 2.....c = 25 + 2....c = 27 ft
longest piece (c) = 27 ft

- Solving systems of equations by graphing
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define Systems</u>
16x + 14y = 8
-63x - 14y = 133
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
<em>Elimination</em>
- Combine 2 equations: -47x = 141
- Divide -47 on both sides: x = -3
<u>Step 3: Solve for </u><em><u>y</u></em>
- Define original equation: 16x + 14y = 8
- Substitute in <em>x</em>: 16(-3) + 14y = 8
- Evaluate multiplication: -48 + 14y = 8
- Add 48 on both sides: 14y = 56
- Divide 14 on both sides: y = 4
<u>Step 4: Graph Systems</u>
<em>Check the solution set.</em>
