Question

A wood board 100 centimeters is cut into two pieces. One piece is 26 centimeters longer than the other . What are the lengths

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

let the length be = x

length of other side be =x+20

Therefore,x+x+20 =100 cm

or,2x+20=100 cm

or,2x =100- 20

or,2x=80

or ,x=80/2

or,x=40

length of one side = 40 cm

length of other side =x+20

or,putting the value of x=40

or, 40+20=60
