Answer 1

Problem Analysis

You have a wire mesh fence that is 98 meters long and you need to cut it into two parts so that one part is 18 meters longer than the other. You are looking for the lengths of each part.

Solution

Let's assume the length of the shorter part is x meters. According to the problem, the longer part will be x + 18 meters.

To find the lengths of each part, we can set up the following equation:

x + (x + 18) = 98

Simplifying the equation:

2x + 18 = 98

Subtracting 18 from both sides:

2x = 80

Dividing both sides by 2:

x = 40

So, the length of the shorter part is 40 meters, and the length of the longer part is 40 + 18 = 58 meters.

Therefore, the lengths of each part of the wire mesh fence are 40 meters and 58 meters.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
