The pole in the mud

4/7 of a pole is in the mud. When 1/3 of it is pulled out, an 8 m long piece of the pole still remains in the mud. What is the full length of the pole?

Correct answer:

x =  21 m

Step-by-step explanation:

y=8 m  m = 74 x a = 31   74 x = 214 x b = ma = 74 x  214 x = 218 x  b = 8  m  218 x = 8  m  8   x = 8   21 x=21=21 m   Verifying Solution:   m=74 x=74 21=74 21=784=12 m  a=31 m=31 12=31 12=312=4 m b=ma=124=8 m
