Question

HELP ASAP!!!!!! Stacy and Travis are rock climbing. Stacy's rope is 4 feet shorter than 3 times the length of Travis' rope. Stacy's rope is 23 feet long. Write and solve an equation to find the length t of Travis' rope.

WORK PROBLEM

Answer 1

S = 3T - 4
S = 23

23 = 3T - 4
23 + 4 = 3T
27 = 3T
27/3 = T
9 = T......so Travis's rope is 9 ft
