A 200-centimeter-long wire is cut into three peices. The second piece is three times as long as the first. The third piece is 2 times as long as the second. How long is each piece?

Assuming the value of the first piece is x, then the equation would be this:
x+3x+6x=200
Simplify, and you get:
10x=200
Solve for x:
x=20
So the first piece(x) was 20 cm long
The second piece(3x) was 60 cm long
The third piece(6x) was 120 cm long
