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.

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

Alex wrote checks on Tuesday for $30 and $40. He also made a deposit in his checking account of $180. Let's solve it step by step :

<u>Alex wrote checks on Tuesday for $30 and $40:</u>

Let's suppose Alex initially had x amount of money out of which $30 & $40 is deducted! so left amount of money is $(x-70) .

<u>He also made a deposit in his checking account of $180:</u>

Out of left money $(x-70) , Alex deposited $180 in account so new money = $(x-70) + $180 = $(x+110)

Therefore, Alex finally had $(x+110) amount of money in his account i.e. He had $100 more then before!
