Astick 43 inches long is broken into two pieces, so that one piece is twice as long as the other. how long are the two pieces?

One piece is   inches and another piece is inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let smaller piece length be

Let larger piece length be  

Since total of two pieces is 43, we can write:

Also, one piece is twice as long as the other (so longer piece is definitely twice as the short piece), we can write:

Substituting equation 2 into equation one, we can solve for s:

Thus longer piece is:

an

y = 6x -3y -12

y +3y +12 = 6x

=> . x = { 2y / 3 +2 } this is equation of line in terms of x

=> . if line meets the x-axis the co-ordinates of meeting point would be ( x , 0 )

=> . x = 2 ( 0 ) / 3 + 2

=> . x = 2

so, the point is ( 2 , 0 )

on monday rodney ate 1/4th of the sandwich = 3/12

on tuesday he ate 1/3rd of the sandwich = 4/12

therefore in total he has eaten = 3/12 + 4/12 = 7/12

thus we can say that he has eaten 7/12 of the sandwich on monday and tuesday alltogether.

happy to

pls mark as brainliest.
