Question

Stacy and travis are rock climbing stacys rope is 4 feet shorted than 3 times the length of travis rope. Stacy rope is 23 feet long. Wirte and slove an equation to findbthe length of travis rope.

Answer 1

To find the length of Travis' rope, set up the equation 23 = 3x - 4 and solve for x.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length of Travis' rope, we need to set up an equation.

Let 'x' be the length of Travis' rope.

According to the problem, Stacy's rope is 4 feet shorter than 3 times the length of Travis' rope.

So, we can set up the equation:

23 = 3x - 4

Add 4 to both sides to isolate 3x:

23 + 4 = 3x

27 = 3x

Divide both sides by 3 to solve for x:

x = 9

Therefore, the length of Travis' rope is 9 feet.
