Question

26. A man wants to cut three lengths from a single piece of board of length 91cm.
The second length is to be 3cm longer than the shortest and the third length is to
be twice as long as the shortest. What are the possible lengths of the shortest
board if the third piece is to be at least 5cm longer than the second?
[Hint: If x is the length of the shortest board, then x. (x + 3) and 2x are the
lengths of the second and third piece, respectively. Thus, x + (x + 3) + 2x 591 and
2x 2 (x + 3) + 5)​

Answer 1

Answer:

shortest length is 91cm,third length is twice of shortest so it is 182,second length is 3 cm longer so,it is 185.
