x+(3x+2)=10 x is the length of the shorter piece.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Not sure how to solve that..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x+3x=4x, so 4x+2=10.. Does that help?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Not really :/
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Subtract the 2, so 4x=8, divide by 4. so x=2.That means the shorter piece is 2 feet, and the longer piece is 8 feet.
