Best answer that i found on yahoo ok   set :   x= length of 2nd piece in cm  x- 3= length of 1st piece in cm  x-4= length of 3rd piece in cm  then since you know they all came from the 20 cm ribbon you add them together and set them equal to 20x+ x-3 +x-4 = 20  3x - 7= 20  3x= 27  x= 9  the shortest piece is the third piece which is x- 4  x-4  9-4 = 5  the length of the smallest piece is 5 cm.  the other lengths are  9 cm  6 cm

(-14+3/2b) - (1+8/2b) = -5 -5/2b(-10+b) + (7b-5) = 8b-15(7/2b-3) - (8+6b) = -5/2b-11(5+2b) + (2b+3/2) = 4b+ 13/2
