A rope17 ft long is cut into 2 pieces one piece is 2 ft longer than the other what are the lenghts of the pieces?
One of them is 9.5 feet long and the other is 7.5 feet long.Explanation:Let us take piece one as X and piece two as Y.1. X + Y = 172. X - Y = 22X = 19 => X = 9.5Take statement 2 from above. 9.5 - Y = 2 => Y = 7.

11 feet! y=2x+3 x+y=15 2x+3+x=15 3x=12 x=4 15-4=11 the two pieces are 4 feet and 11 feet
A ribbon 9 feet long is cut into two pieces one piece is 1 foot longer that the other what are the lengths of the pieces?
Suppose the shorter piece is x feet long. Then the longer piece is x+1 feet long. The total length of the two pieces is x + (x+1) = 2x+1 feet. So 2x+1 = 9 so 2x = 8 so x = 4' and then the other piece is 5'
