A man wants to cut three lengths from a single piccc of board of length 91em.The second length is to be 3cm longer than the shortest and the third length is tobe twice as long as the shortest. What are the possible lengths of the shortestboard if the third piece is to be at least 5cm longer than the second?[Hint: If x is the length of the shortest board, then x, x +3) and 2x are thelengths of the second and third piece, respectively. Thus, x +r+3) + 2x s91 and2.2(x+3)+5]
