Question

A 34 metre long rope is cut into 2 pieces. If one piece is 14 metres longer than the other, determine the length of each piece.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the 2 pieces be x and (x + 14)

x + x + 14 = 34 ( ATQ)

2x = 34 - 14

2x = 20

x = 20/2

= 10

Therefore the length of one piece is 10 m and others is (10 + 14) = 24 m

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the 2 pieces be x and (x + 14)

x + x + 14 = 34 ( ATQ)

2x = 34 - 14

2x = 20

x = 20/2

= 10

Therefore the length of one piece is 10 m and others is (10 + 14) = 24 m
