Answer:
33
Step-by-step explanation:
let the shorter piece be x m
then the longer piece is 41-x
"The short piece is 25 meters shorter then the long piece"
or
the difference between the longer and the shorter is 19
--->
(41-x) - x = 25
41-x-x = 25
-2x = 25-41
-2x = -16
divide both sides by -2
x = 8
I defined x to be the short piece ---- 8
I defined 41-x to be the longer --- 41-8 = 33
