Question

A wooden board measuring 130 feet is cut into three pieces. There are 2 smaller pieces of wood that are each the same length, and one larger piece that is 10 feet longer than one of the smaller pieces. How long is each piece of wood?

Answer 1

OK, you cut a 130 foot long board into three pieces. The two smaller pieces are the same length. Let's call that length x. The longer piece is 10 feet longer, so it's x + 10. The three lengths need to sum to 130:

x + x + (x + 10) = 130

3x + 10 = 130

Solve for x, the length of the two smaller pieces. the largest piece is x + 10 Units are feet.
