Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Let be "s" the length in meters of the short piece and "l" the lenght in meters of the long piece.
Set up a system of equations:

Apply the Substitution Method to solve the system. Substitute the second equation into the first equation and solve for "l":

Susbstitute the value of "l" into the second equation in order to find the value of "s". This is:

The number is 14
Here's the solution:
Let the number be x
According to the question,
27+7x=125
//Subtract 27 from both the sides
7x=125-27
7x=98
//divide both the sides by 7
x=98/7
x=14
