Question

Write an equation from the information given: A piece of rope 20 feet long is cut into 2 pieces. One piece is 4 feet longer than the other.

PLEASE HELP ME!

Answer 1

20 is the total so put it on the right side of the equals sign...

? + ? = 20

let x represent the smaller piece.

? + x = 20

now we know the other piece is 4 feet longer. this means...

(4+x) + x = 20

Answer 2

4+x=20 lol^^' this is the answer i dont know how to show work
