Write a mathematical expression for the situation described.
-A 33-centimeter piece of rope is cut into two pieces. If one piece is z centimeters long, express the other length as an algebraic expression in z.
A)(z + 33)cm
B) $( 33 - 2 z ) \mathrm { cm }$
C)(z - 33)cm
D)(33 - z)cm

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The length of the other piece of rope is the total length minus the length of the first piece, which is $33 - z$ cm.
