The longest piece is 25 inches and the shortest piece is 11 inches.
(36/2) - (14/2) = shortest piece
18 - 7 = 11 (shortest piece)
36 - 11 = 25 (longest piece)
25 - 11 = 14 inches difference between the pieces

-16 + 4(2g - 18) = 0
Distribute 4 inside the parentheses.
-16 + (8g - 72) = 0
Combine like terms (-16 - 72).
-88 + 8g = 0
Add 88 to both sides.
8g = 88
Divide both sides by 8.
