Answer:
Shorter piece length is 18 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's marked first piece with x and second with y
x + y = 42
Given ratio is x : y = 3 : 4
From this proportion we get
x = 3 c and y = 4 c where c is coefficient of proportionality
when we replace this in initial equation we get
3 c + 4 c = 42 => 7 c = 42 => c = 42/7 = 6 c = 6
x = 3 · 6 = 18 inches and z = 4 · 6 = 24 inches
shorter piece is x = 18 inches
God with you!!!

Answer:
(-3,-20)
Step-by-step explanation:
4 +8x = y ...... equation (1)
6x - y = 2 ........equation(2)
from equation 2
6x - y = 2
6x -(4+8x) =2
6x - 4 + 8x = 2
+4 +4
6x - 8x = 6
-2x=6
divide by -2
x= -3
put x in equation (1) to solve for y
4 + 8x = y
4+8(-3)=y
4-24=y
-20=y
y= -20
solution = (-3,-20)
