A bolt of cloth 100 yards long is cut into three pieces. The second piece is 15 yards longer than the first piece, and the length of the third piece is 5 yard more than twice the length of the first piece.

Answer 1

x = first piece

x+15 = second piece

2x+5 = third piece

x + (x+15) + (2x+5) = 100

Solve for x, then others.
