Question

Johnson needs to cut a piece of fabric into two strips. The longer piece needs to be 4 yards longer than twice the shorter piece. If the length of the entire piece of fabric is 10 yards, what is the length of each piece?

PLEASE ANSWER MY QUESTION.

Answer 1

Answer:

The length of the shortest side is 2 and the length of the longest side is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we don't know the length of the shortest side we should keep it as 'x'

shortest side= x

longest side= y

x+y=10

total length= 10 yards

longest side= xX2+4=y

x+xX2+4=10

(x+x) both of the x's should have the same value

x+xX2+4=10  

2+4=6

10-6=4

4= x+x

4/2=2

Therefore the length of the short side is 2 and the length of the long side is 8

Hope this clarifies your doubt :)
