Answer:

Shorter side = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Food board = 25

Piece 1 = x

Piece 2 = 2x + 4

Total length = Piece 1 + Piece 2

25 = x + 2x + 4

25 = 3x + 4

Subtract 4 from both sides

25 - 4 = 3x

21 = 3x

Divide both sides by 3

x = 21 / 3

= 7

x = 7

Piece 1 = x

= 7

Piece 2 = 2x + 4

= 2(7) + 4

= 14 + 4

= 18

The length of the second, shorter, piece of the board is 7

it is 7
