Troy cut a 100 foot rope into 3 pieces. The first piece is 43 foot long. The second piece is at least 22 feet long, but no greater than 33 feet long. Which inequality represents the length (x) of the third piece?

Respuesta :

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let he first piece be x the second be 3x and the very last one be 7x + 2

 

Add all the pieces together and you ought to get the length of the rope which is 46 ft

 

So your equation would be

 

x + 3x + 7x + 2 = 46

 

11x = 44

 

x = 44 / 11

 

x = 4

 

so the 3 pieces are 4 , 12 and 30ft
