Answer:
15 meters and 25 meters long
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>There are 2 pieces of rope</em>.
Total length of both---> 40 meters
Length of piece 1 ------> x
Length of piece 2 -----> x + 10
<em>Find the value of x.</em>
<em>Form an equation ----> Length of piece 1 + length of piece 2 = total length</em>
x + (x + 10) = 40
2x + 10 = 40
2x = 30
x = 15
Length of piece 1 --> x ---> 15
Length of piece 2 --> x + 10 ----> 15 + 10 = 25
Therefore, one piece is 15 meters long and the other piece is 25 meters long.
