Snakes used in Math / Maths.

Wow , judging by this genuine maths question my Royals must be SuperDwarfs !!

" Three royal pythons and two anacondas measure 161 feet. The royal python's length increased by triple the anaconda's length is 119 feet Find the maximum length for each snake. "

I'll post the answer this evening ... I may well be wrong but you can actually solve this as a quadratic equation ..

I don't know the answer, I'm not that smart, just wondering if this a line from the movie "Anaconda"?

Stupid math question is stupid.
- Why assume that all three of the royal pythons are the same length, and both of the anacondas are the same length?
- If all five snakes were the same length they would each be 32.2 feet.

I think your math class needs a show-and-tell session.

" Three royal pythons and two anacondas measure 161 feet. .

I'm still stumped by this. How are snakes measuring anything without any hands? Are they surveyors? What kind of tools are they using to measure with?

Answer is

Anacondas - 28' each
Royals ( Balls to you ) - 35' each

Remember it's an algebra question and I posted it as it showed each Royal to be 35' long
