I am pretty sure 30 is the answer
70,000 is ten times as much as 7,000. This is because 7,000 times 10 equals 70,000. I got this answer by dividing 70,000 by 10.
X = shorter piece
y = longer piece = 5x
shorter piece + longer piece = 60
x + 5x = 60
6x = 60
x = 60/6
x = 10 in. <== shorter piece
y = 5x
y = 5(10)
y = 50 in. <== longer piece
