[tex]5x + x = 222[/tex] In this case, x = 37, and here's why.
[tex]5\cdot37[/tex] = [tex]185[/tex] + [tex]37[/tex] = [tex]222[/tex]
[tex]185[/tex] = [tex]Longer[/tex] [tex]piece[/tex]
[tex]37[/tex] = [tex]Shorter[/tex] [tex]piece[/tex]
[tex]Longer[/tex] [tex]piece[/tex] + [tex]Shorter[/tex] [tex]piece[/tex] = [tex]222[/tex]
[tex]So[/tex], [tex]37[/tex] = [tex]x[/tex].
