Question

Sneha has 18m of ribbon she want to cut it into 2 pieces such that the length of 1 piece is 4 m longer than the other find the length of the other piece

Answer 1

Answer:

7 m is the length of the other piece

Step-by-step explanation:

x= length of the other piece

x+4= length of the first piece

18= length of the ribbon

$2x + 4 = 18 \\ 2x = 18 - 4 \\ 2x = 14 \\ \frac{2x}{2} = \frac{14}{2} \\ x = 7$

Check

7+4= 11- longer piece

7- shorter piece

11+7 = 18 (length of ribbon)
