A rope is cut into two pieces. One piece has a length of 73 meters. If the other piece has a length of y meters, what was the total length of the rope, in meters, before it was cut?

so to get your answer you have to do T = 73 + y      hope this helps! god bless you!

Step-by-step explanation:

let soccer = x and golf = y

part a

1st equation: x + y = 125

2nd equation: x = y +45

part b

replace x in the 1st equation with the 2nd one:

y + 45 + y = 125

simplify:

2y + 45 = 125

subtract 45 from each side:

2y = 80

divide both sides by 2:

y = 80/2

y = 40

she plays golf for 40 minutes.

part c

no because she plays soccer for 45 minutes longer than golf 40 +45 =   85 minutes, not 80 minutes.

x = -2

y = 848
