There is a wooden piece of length 2m . A carpenter wants to cut into two
pieces such that the first piece is 40 cm smaller than twice the other piece.
what is the length of the small piece ?

i have asked this many times but no response
i think no one have a talent to solve this

Answer 1

Let the length of first piece=x cm

Length of second piece=(x+40) CM

Total length=2 m=200 cm

Acc. to. ques.

x+x+40=200

2x+40=200

2x=200-40

2x=160

x=160/2

x=80

So, length of smaller piece is 80 cm
