\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "A \"174\"-meter rope is cut into two segments. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The longer segment is \"30\" meters longer than the shorter segment.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Write and solve a linear equation to find the length of each segment. Include units.
\n" ); document.write( "let the shorter segment be \"x\", then longer segment is \"x%2B30\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "together, both measure \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2Bx%2B30=174\" solve for \"x\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2x=174-30\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2x=144\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=72\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, the shorter segment is \"72m\", then longer segment is \"102m\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The segments are _\"72m\"__ and _\"102m\"__ long.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
