Ecuardo is a plumber and his preparing to install copper pipes in a home . he must cut a 17 foot piece of copper pipe into two different size pieces . the shorter piece must be 4.5 feet shorter than the long piece of the pipe . find the length of each piece .

Let shorter piece be x feet and longer be y feet long, then

x + y = 17

y - x = 4.5

adding these 2 equations:-

2y = 21.5

y = 10.75

so x = 17 - 10.75 = 6.25

shorter side is 6.25 ft and longer is 10.75 ft   answer

0

step-by-step explanation:

you can not divide by 0 so 4 ÷ 0 would be 0

0 × 9999 =0
