Just translate ....
"pole C is 260 cm shorter than pole A"
C = A - 260
but pole <b>C = 1040</b>
1040 = A-260
<b>A = 1300</b>
"pole A is twice as long as pole B"
A = 2B
1300 = 2B
<b>B = 650</b>
Now just add them up
"pole C is 260 cm shorter than pole A"
C = A - 260
but pole <b>C = 1040</b>
1040 = A-260
<b>A = 1300</b>
"pole A is twice as long as pole B"
A = 2B
1300 = 2B
<b>B = 650</b>
Now just add them up
