A 33-inch pipe is cut into two pieces. One piece is two times the length of the other. Find the lengths of the two pieces.
The short piece is inches long
The long piece is inches long
x (shorter pipe) +2x (longer pipe) = 33 (the whole thing)
3x = 33
x = 11
the shorter pipe is 11", the longer pipe is 11"*2, which is 22"
