A 16-foot board is to be cut into 4 pleces. Three of the pleces will be the same length, and one piece will be 4 feet

longer than the other three.
Which equation could be used to solve for the lengths?
x+x+x+x+4=16
x+x+x+4x=16
x+x+x+X-4=16
x+x+x+x=16+4

Answer:

I think it's B

Explanation:

It's the only one with 3 x's to represent the part where it's cut into four pieces the x represents the 3 numbers and then the 4x means how the x = the number that the 3 represent plus the 4 feet longer
