is each piece?

Answer:
The lengths are 17 in and 33 in.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the length of the shorter piece
x +x +16=50
2x = 50-16
2x= 34
x= 17
and
x + 16 = 17+ 16
x + 16 = 33
The lengths are 17 in and 33 in.
Check your answer:
17+33=50
Let x = the length of the shorter piece
x+x+16=50in
2x=50-16
2x=34
x=17
Then
x+16=17+16
x+16=33
Subtract 16 from both sides
The lengths are 17in and 33in
