Question 800499: a wire 180 cm long is to be cut into two parts so that one part is 32 cm longer than the other. how long is ech part? Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! First part of wire = x
Second piece of wire = x + 32 cm
x + x + 32 = 180
2x = 180 - 32
2x = 148
x = 74 cm
First part of wire = 74 cm.
Second part of wire = 106 cm.
Hope this helps.
