    63cm

    Step-by-step explanation:

    2 pieces of rope, and one is shorter by 18cm.

    piece 1: x

    piece 2: x-18

    Add the equations together, combine both pieces

    2x-18

    2x-18 = 108

    108+18 = 2x

    126 = 2x

    x = 63

    63 cm

    Step-by-step explanation:

    piece 1: x

    piece 2: x - 18

    First you would subtract 2x - 18 = 108

    Second you would add 108 + 18 = 2x

    Third you would divide 126 divided by 2x = 63

    So that would mean x = 63
