The answer is B.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hey there!!
Let's take the length of the bigger piece as x inches
Then, the length of the smaller piece would be x - 8 inches
The sum of these lengths would be 54 inches
... x + x - 8 = 54
... 2x - 8 = 54
... Add 8 on both sides
... 2x = 62
... Divide 2 on both sides
... x = 31
Hence, the length of the bigger piece = 31 inches
The length of the smaller piece would be = 31 - 8 = 23 inches
Hope my answer helps!!
