Let x be the length of one of the cut cable then the other cable length will be x+18 so if we equate x+(x+18)=84 =>2x+18=84 =>2x=66 ==>x=33 so length of one cable is 33m so the length of the other cable is 33+18 which is 51m

x+(x+18)=84
=>2x+18=84
=>2x=66
==>x=33
so length of one cable is 33m
so the length of the other cable is 33+18 which is 51m
