A board 96 inches long is cut into 2 pieces. The first piece is 6 inches longer than twice the length of the second piece. How long is each piece?

The length of the board is 60 inches. It's cut into two parts so that the longer piece is 5 times of the shorter part. The equation is formed as under...

Let's assume the shorter part is … x then the longer part is... 5x. The total parts are..

x + 5x = 6x and given that 6x is equal to 60 inches. Therefore...

If 6x = 60 inches then

x = 60/6 = 10 inches and the longer piece is 5x = 5.10 = 50 inches.

The shorter piece is 10 inches long and the length of the longer piece is 50 inches. Answer. Thanks.
