Answer:

The length of the longer piece will be [tex]39\ cm[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> the longer piece

y-----> the shorter piece

we know that

[tex]x+y=63[/tex] ------> equation A

[tex]x=y+15[/tex] ------> equation B

substitute the equation B in equation A

[tex](y+15)+y=63[/tex]

solve for y

[tex]2y=63-15[/tex]

[tex]y=48/2=24\ cm[/tex]

Find the value of x

[tex]x=y+15[/tex]--------> [tex]x=24+15=39\ cm[/tex]
