Question

A 25–foot long board is cut into two parts. The longer part is one foot more than twice the shorter part. How long is each part?

Answer 1

The longer part=13 and the shorter part=12

Answer 2

Answer:

Shorter part = 8 foot

Longer part = 17 foot

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, the length of shorter part be x

Then the length of longer part is 2x+1

Then,

x + 2x + 1 = 25

3x + 1 = 25

3x = 24

x = 8
