Question

One line segment is 5 emmore than 4 times the

Answer 1

Let the length of the 1st line segment = x

then the length of the second line segment = 4x + 5

The difference in their lengths = 35

so 4x + 5 - x = 35 ... [longer - shorter = 35]

3x = 30

x = 10

so the shorter (1st) line segment is 10 cm long

and the longer (2nd) line segment is 4 * 10 + 5 = 45 cm long
