Help with an Algebra word problem - i figured it out, but keep getting the wrong solution?

Yuri has a bored 98 in. long. He wishes to cut the board into two pieces so that one piece will be 10 in. longer than the other. What should the length of each piece be?

I need to show the work. when i worked out the problem, my solution did not work out when plugged the numbers in.

i am hoping someone can help. Algebra is giving me alot of grey hairs.

thank you in advance for your help

Help with an Algebra word problem - i figured it out, but keep getting the wrong solution?

Let length of one piece be x

Length of the other piece = x +10

x + x + 10 = 98

2x = 98 - 10

2x = 88

x = 44

Length of one piece is 44 in and the lenght of the other piece is (44+10)= 54 in

Hope that helps

X = Piece one

Y = Piece two

X + Y = 98

X - Y = 10

substract from eachother

X-X+Y+Y = 88

2Y = 88

Y = 44

X = 98 - Y = 98 - 44 = 54

X is 54 and Y is 44

Short piece = s

Long piece = s + 10

s + s + 10 = 98 {add the 2 pieces together}

2s = 88

s = 44

s + 10 = 44 + 10 = 54
