Replace x with the possible answers and solve to see which ones make the equation true:
5(3) = 15 + 4 = 19. 19 is < 29 so 3 works.
5(4) = 20 + 4 = 24. 24 is < 29, so 4 also works.
5(5) = 25 + 4 = 29. 29 is not less than 29 so doesn't work.
Only 3 and 4 will work.
The answer would be {3,4}
The total length of the rope = 32 ft
It is cut into two sections, say x and y
But one section is seven times the other, say y=7x (shorter section being x)
Solving for x
x+y =32
x+7x = 32
8x=32
x=32/8 = 4 ft.
Therefore, the shorter piece is 4 ft long.
