<human>:  Jazel has 3 sticks. One stick is 3 centimeters long. The second stick is twice as long while the third stick is 1 centimeter shorter than the second stick. What is the total length of Jazel's sticks when they are put together?
<bot>: How long is the second stick? ** The second stick is 3 x 2 = <<3*2=6>>6 centimeters long.
How long is the third stick? ** The third stick is 6 - 1 = <<6-1=5>>5 centimeters long.
What is the total length of Jazel's sticks when they are put together? ** Thus, Jazel's sticks are 3 + 6 + 5 = <<3+6+5=14>>14 centimeters long when they are put together.
