A 49 foot pipe is cut into two pieces. If one piece has a length of y feet, what is the length, in feet, of the other piece?

L = (49 - Y) Ft.

To determine the length of the other piece, we need to recognize that the total length of the pipe is split into two parts. Let's call the length of the other piece x feet.

We know that the total length of the pipe is 49 feet, and one piece has a length of y feet. Therefore, the equation that represents this situation is:

y + x = 49

To find the length of the other piece, we need to solve this equation for x.

Step 1: Subtract y from both sides of the equation:

x = 49 - y

So, the length of the other piece is 49 - y feet.
