(Brainliest)reg has a piece of rope 18 ft long. He wants to cut it into two pieces so that the longer piece (y) is 2 ft less than 3 times the length of
he shorter piece (x).
Choose the two equations that will create our system of equations for this story problem.(it doesn’t ask to solve this is systems of equations)
x - y = 18
O y = 3x - 2
y = 2 - 3x
O x + y = 18
