Practical Pat was asked to cut a 99 foot rope into three smaller, equal length ropes.
However, as usual, Pat couldn't find the measuring tape, so a guess took place!
When the tape was finally found (it was under a hat), Pat discovered that:
the second piece of rope was twice as long as the first piece, minus 35 feet
the third piece of rope was half the length of the first, plus 15 feet
How long were each of the pieces of rope?
