A 33-foot-long speaker wire is to be cut into three pieces. One piece is to be 11 feet long. Of the remaining pieces, one must be 2 feet less than 3 times the length of the other. Find the length of the shorter piece
Answered by PsyDAG
Let x = shorter piece, then 3x-2 = other piece.

11 + x + (3x-2) = 33

Solve for x.
