Problema Solution
A rope is cut into two pieces. One piece has a length of 72 meters. If the other piece has a length of x meters, what was the total length of the rope, in meters, before it was cut?
Answer provided by our tutors
since 'x' represents one length that was cut and the other cut length was 72 meters, then 'x+72' represents the total length of the rope before it was cut
the length of the rope before it was cut was 'x+72'
