Answer: the length of Maria's piece of string is 45 inches.

the length of Katy's piece of string is 39 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of Maria's piece of string.

Let y represent the length of Katy's piece of string.

When they put the two pieces of string together end to end, the total length is 84inches. This means that

x + y = 84 - - - - - - - - - - - -1

Maria's string is 6 inches longer than Katy's. This means that

x = y + 6

Substituting x = y + 6 into equation 1, it becomes

y + 6 + y = 84

2y + 6 = 84

2y = 84 - 6 = 78

y = 78/2 = 39

x = y + 6 = 39 + 6

x = 45

  our X is 30 because 3x = 90 and if we divide that by 3 then we are left with 30, I knew it was equal to 90 degrees because of the little red box that symbolizes a 90 degree angle.

  So now that we know X = 30 we can plug it in for (2x + 3y)

2(30) + 3y is equal to (60 + 3y) and if we equal that to the other side 3x and plug in for x on that side, we have a new equation of 90 = 60 + 3y so then from here we subtract 60 from both sides and are left with 30 = 3y and finally we divide 3

and our final answer is Y = 10 (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((:
