Acable is 84 meters long, it is cut into two pieces so that one piece is 18 meters longer than the other. find the length of each piece of cable.

The small cable is 33 meters and the large one is 51 meters.

Let the length of the smallest cable be represented by x

Therefore, the bigger cable will be x+18

The equation to solve the question will be:

x + x+18 = 84

2x + 18 = 84

Collect like terms

2x = 84 - 18

2x = 66

x = 66/2

x = 33

The small cable is 33 meters

The large cable will be:

= x + 18

= 33 + 18

= 51 meters.

Long Piece: x + 18

Short Piece: x

(x) + (x + 18) = 84

2x + 18 = 84

2x = 66

x = 33

Long Piece: x + 18  = (33) + 18   = 51

33 meters and 51 meters

answer: 42

use a calculator to find that 845/73 = 11.575

the whole part of the answer is 11. multiply this by 73 to get 11*73 = 803.

subtract that result from 845 to get 845 - 803 = 42

the solution is x=1

step-by-step explanation:

we are given our   equation as

let's assume

left side function is

right side function is

now, we can draw graph

and then we can get intersection point

the intersection point will be solution

so, the solution is

x=1
