Answer:

The length of the shorter piece = 3 ft

The length of the longer piece = 10 ft  

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question;

  • Total length of the string is 13 ft
  • Longer piece is 4ft longer than twice the shorter piece;

Therefore;

  • Assuming the shorter piece is x ft
  • Then, the longer piece will be (2x + 4) ft

Thus;

Longer piece + shorter piece = 13 ft

x ft + (2x + 4) ft = 13 ft

3x + 4 = 13

3x = 9

 x = 3 ft  and

2x + 4 = 10 ft

Therefore;

The length of the shorter piece = 3 ft

The length of the longer piece = 10 ft
