An electrician cuts a 19-ft piece of wire into two pieces. one piece is 11 ft shorter than the other piece. how long was each piece?

one peice is 4 ft long and the other is 15

Step-by-step explanation:

put into an equation

x= the length of one of the pieces

x-11 is the other one

x + x- 11 = 19

add 11

x+ x =30

2x= 30

devide

x = 15

input that to find the other one

x - 11

15 -11 = 4

done
