Let's assume that the original length of the piece of board is L.

Now you cut two pieces that are 3.4 ft long, so the remaining piece of board is:

L - 3.4ft - 3.4ft = L - 6.8ft long.

Now we know that the remaining must be 2.35 times longer than the pieces of 3.4 ft, then we have the equation:

( L - 6.8ft) = 2.35×3.4ft

solving that for L we get:

L  = 14.79ft

Rounding to the nearest tenth, we get:

L = 14.8ft

You should buy a piece of board that is 14.8 feet long.

now you're left with 5x = 6,000
Now divide by 5 on both sides
