Question 609518: A 16-foot board is to be cut into 4 pieces. Three of the pieces will be the same length, and one piece will be 4 feet longer than the other three.
Which equation could be used to solve for the lengths?
x + x + x + 4x = 16
x + x + x + x - 4 = 16
x + x + x + x = 16 + 4
x + x + x + x + 4 = 16
