Question

A pole x metres long is broken into two parts. One part is 3 metres long and
the other part is 2r - 17 metres long. Find the original length of the pole. ans fast but give full steps solution please​

Answer 1

Answer:

14m

Step-by-step explanation:

I guess that the (2r) should be (2x).

If so ....then :-

total length : 'x'm

one part: 3m

2nd part : (2x-17)m

Therefore, according to the Question-

3+(2x-17)=x

=>2x-14=x

=>2x-x=14

=>x=14.

Hence , the pole is of 14m.

Hope this Helped !!
