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

We rewrite it in a more functional form:

y = x - 3

I'll make a vertical table, easier to type. For each x we subtract 3 to get y.
