Second part = x
\n" ); document.write( "First part = x - 2
\n" ); document.write( "Third part = 2x
\n" ); document.write( "(x - 2) + x + 2x = 46
\n" ); document.write( " 4x - 2 = 46
\n" ); document.write( " 4x = 48
\n" ); document.write( " x = 12
\n" ); document.write( "So, First part = 10ft
\n" ); document.write( " Second part = 12ft
\n" ); document.write( " Third part = 24ft
\n" ); document.write( " Total = 46ft\r
