I don't care im putting this up for 80 just please help me and DO NOT GIVE ME A LINK for the answer I will report you because I followed the ink and it gave my other computer a bug.

Best answer that i found on yahoo ok   set :   x= length of 2nd piece in cm  x- 3= length of 1st piece in cm  x-4= length of 3rd piece in cm  then since you know they all came from the 20 cm ribbon you add them together and set them equal to 20x+ x-3 +x-4 = 20  3x - 7= 20  3x= 27  x= 9  the shortest piece is the third piece which is x- 4  x-4  9-4 = 5  the length of the smallest piece is 5 cm.  the other lengths are  9 cm  6 cm

I'm pretty sure it's b). i try drawing the functions out and b is the one that stands out or isnt a "line"
