<u>Answer</u>:

The length of the short part is 37 inches, and the length of the other part is 74 inches.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Given:

Total length of the stick =  111 inches.

One piece is twice as long as the other.

To Find:

Length of the two pieces=?

Solution:

Let the length of one piece be n,

Then the other piece will be 2n.

Now, total length of stick = n + 2n

=>111 inches = 2n + n

=>111 = 3n

=>n =\frac{111}{3}

So, length of short path is 37 inches,

Then length of other part is

=> 2(n)

=>2(37)

=> 74 inches.

Hence, the length of the short part is 37 inches, and the length of the other part is 74 inches.

Let’s say that the other one is described as X. So if one piece is twice as long as the other one, it’ll be 2x.

2x + X =111
3x = 111
3x divided by 3= 111 divided by 3
X= 37

So 2x = 2(37) = 74
X = 37

74
+ 37

We can turn this word problem into the following equation:
x^2 + 85 = (x - 17)^2
  x^2 + 85 = x^2 - 34x + 289
           -85                       -85
_______________________
      x^2 = x^2 - 34x + 204                    
     +34x         +34x
_______________________
 x^2 + 34x = x^2 + 204
-x^2             -x^2
____________________
       34x = 204
Divide 34 on both sides
      x = 6.
The number is 6.
