Answer 2

$\textbf {Hey there, here is the solution.}$

.............................................................................................

Let one one piece be x

The other piece is x + 4

.............................................................................................

Form equation and solve for x:

x + x + 4 = 18

Combine like terms:

2x + 4 = 18

Subtract 4 from both sides:

2x = 14

Divide both sides by 2:

x = 7

.............................................................................................

Find the length of the shorter piece

Shorter piece = x = 7

.............................................................................................

Answer: The shorter piece is 7m
