Luke o rekela difetere tse di ntšhwa letsela. Go na le difetere tse tlhano. Feftere nngwe le nngwe e bophara ba di-inches tse 35 mme Luke o tlhoka go reka letsela le le lekanang gabedi bophara jotlhe jwa difetere. O tshwanetse go reka letsela le le kana kang? 

Ian has a board that is 40 feet long. He decides to make a cut so he can have two pieces. The longer piece is 4 times longer than the shorter piece. How long is the longer piece?
Bophara jotlhe jwa difetere tse tlhano ke 35 x 5 = <<35*5=175>> di-inches tse 175.
Luke o tlhoka go reka di-inches tse 175 x 2 = <<175*2=350>>350 tsa letsela.
#### 350 

Let x be the length of the shorter piece.
The two pieces are 4x and x in length.
The equation is 4x + x = 40 when the lengths of the two boards are added.
Adding like terms makes the equation 5x = 40.
Then dividing 40 by 5 gives the value of x which is <<40/5=8>>8.
Since x =8, the longer piece is 4*8 = 32.
