A rope is 84 meters long is cut int two pieces so that one piece is 18 meters longer than the other. What is the length of each piece of rope?

33 meters

51 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

84-18= 66

66/2= 33

33+18= 51

Check your

51+33=84

Side A= 24 meters Side B= 60 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

divide 84 by 2 (84/2 = 42)

*as of right now both sides are 42 meters*

Side A: subtract 42 by 18 (42-18 = 24)

Side B: add 18 to 42 (18+42 = 60)

b

step-by-step explanation:

a difference is the result of subtraction. while each of these expressions has subtraction in it, a difference will be the result when subtraction is the last operation applied in the order of operations for the expression. this means subtraction must be outside of the parenthesis. only b has this.
