There are two unknowns.
we are given in the question that the length of the shortest section is X. So we know that this lenses acts now. It says in in the question that the middle side section is two feet longer than the short section, so the length of this will be X feet plus two feet. So experts two feet on the long section is three times as long as the shot. What section? So that will be three multiplied by X feet. So that's three X now. To get the total length we need to add these together. So we have X plus explodes, too, plus three X, and this is equal to five x plus two. So the answer is five x plus two.
