Answer:

63 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

piece 1: x

piece 2: x - 18

First you would subtract 2x - 18 = 108

Second you would add 108 + 18 = 2x

Third you would divide 126 divided by 2x = 63

So that would mean x = 63

Answer:

63cm

Step-by-step explanation:

2 pieces of rope, and one is shorter by 18cm.

piece 1: x

piece 2: x-18

Add the equations together, combine both pieces

2x-18

2x-18 = 108

108+18 = 2x

126 = 2x

x = 63
