X+(X+10)=98
\n" ); document.write( "X+X=10=98
\n" ); document.write( "2X=98-10
\n" ); document.write( "2X=88
\n" ); document.write( "X=88/2
\n" ); document.write( "X=44 INCHES FOR THE SHORTER PIECE
\n" ); document.write( "98-44=54 FOR THE LONGER PIECE.
\n" ); document.write( "PROOF
\n" ); document.write( "44+54=98 AND
\n" ); document.write( "54=44+10
\n" ); document.write( "
