You can put this solution on YOUR website!
if x equals one piece then x+10 (10 inches longer) equals the other piece ... the two pieces together are 98 inches\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x+(x+10)=98 ... 2x+10=98 ... 2x=88 ... x=44 ... x+10=54 ... 44+54=98
\n" ); document.write( "
