Solving a linear equation, we will see that after 9 days he cuts the last section.
how many days will he cut the last section?
We know that the initial length of the piece of cloth is 20m, and the taylor each day cuts a piece of 2 meters of it.
So, the length as a function on the number of days, is:
L(x) = 20m - 2m*x
Here we just need to solve:
L(x) = 2m
Because the last cut is when the long piece measures 4 meters (in that case he does one cut and has the two final pieces of 2 meters).
Solving that, we get:
20m - 2m*x = 2m
20m - 2m = 2m*x
18m/2m = x = 9
After 9 days he cuts the last section.
