Answer:

Answer:

The width of bookcase D is 61 cm

The width of bookcase E is 61 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

step 1

Sum the widths of the three bookcases A, B and C

step 2

Subtract the sum of the three bookcases A,B and C from the total length of the wall

step 3

Divide that answer in step 2 by 2, and that will let you know the widths of D and E, because they may have equal widths

therefore

The width of bookcase D is 61 cm

The width of bookcase E is 61 cm
