A plumber has a 36-in pipe he must cut it into two pieces so that one piece is 14 inches longer than the other how long is each piece ?

Respuesta :

The longest piece is 25 inches and the shortest piece is 11 inches.

(36/2) - (14/2) = shortest piece
18 - 7 = 11 (shortest piece)

36 - 11 = 25 (longest piece)

25 - 11 = 14 inches difference between the pieces
