Rod is 72
\n" ); document.write( "One piece is x
\n" ); document.write( "Another piece is x+6
\n" ); document.write( "Problem:
\n" ); document.write( "x+(x+6) = 72
\n" ); document.write( "2x+6=72
\n" ); document.write( "2x+6(-6) = 72(-6)
\n" ); document.write( "2x=66
\n" ); document.write( "2x/2 = 66/2
\n" ); document.write( "x=33\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Check the Solution!
\n" ); document.write( "x+(x+6)=72
\n" ); document.write( "33+(33+6)=72
\n" ); document.write( "33+39=72
\n" ); document.write( "72=72
\n" ); document.write( "TRUE\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "One piece is x, or 33.
\n" ); document.write( "Another piece is x+6, or 33+6=39.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Solution:
\n" ); document.write( "One piece is 33-inches and the second piece is 39-inches.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
