Divide

Divide a rod 110 cm long into two parts so that the first part is 10 cm longer than the second part, and one part is ten times longer than the other. How long will the parts be?

Final Answer:

a =  60 cm
b =  50 cm

Step-by-step explanation:


a+b=110
a = 10+b

a+b = 110
a-b = 10

Row 2 - Row 1 → Row 2
a+b = 110
-2b = -100


b = -100/-2 = 50
a = 110-b = 110-50 = 60

a = 60
b = 50
