Explanation
Correct answer: 34.
It's given that a line segment has a length of cm and is divided into three parts, where one part is cm long and the other two parts have lengths that are equal. If represents the length, in cm, of each of the two parts of equal length, then the equation , or , represents this situation. Subtracting from each side of this equation yields . Dividing each side of this equation by yields . Therefore, the length, in cm, of one of the two parts of equal length is .
Desmos solution:
Note: Let a be the length of each equal part, so the regression solves a+a+47=115.
