A carpenter used 26 ft of molding in three pieces to trim a garage door If the long piece was 5 ft longer than twice the length of each shorter piece what is the length of the longest piece?

Assuming the two shorter pieces are of the same length, the problem could be set up as 2x + (x + 5) = 26: (2 short pcs + (1 short PC + 5 ft) and solve:
2x + (x + 5) = 26
3x + 5 = 26
3x = 21
x = 7
x + 5 = 12
Each short piece is 7 ft and the long piece is 12 ft.

How do you replace a window in a 16' x 7' Regal Garage door?
Unless you are replacing a 16 foot wide window, you will need to install a header. Your best bet to span that distance is a laminated beam or other engineered lumber, and you will need 3 jack studs supporting it on each side. Since you are making a structural change, you will need to pull a permit and have the work inspected. Temporary bracing will be needed to support the roof while installing the beam. Make sure the rough opening is level and plumb, or you will have trouble with the garage door later on. While I encourage DIY's, this is probably more than a homeowner can comfortably handle, so get a few quotes before hand. Take the molding off from the inside of the door where the window goes, measure the area where the window goes, go to hardware store buy the glass to fit the measurements, put the glass in the door and with small tacks and nail the molding back on,
