Solve by finding the root of an equation in just one unknown. 1. A rope 75 feet long is cut into two pieces where one is 11 feet long than the other. Find their lengths. Let x = shorter piece’s lenght x + 11 = longer piece’s lenght Solution: x + x +11 = 75 2x = 75 – 11 2x = 64 2x = 64 2 2 x = 32 x + 11 = 32 + 11 = 43 2.
