    Step-by-step explanation:

    One piece is x

    The other piece is x+26

    They add to 100

    x+x+26 = 100

    Combine like terms

    2x+26 = 100

    Subtract 26 from each side

    2x+26-26 = 100-26

    2x = 74

    Divide by 2

    2x/2 = 74/2

    x = 37

    x=37

    x+26 = 37+26=63
