The second piece would be 28 cm.
You could solve this by subtracting 7 from 63 first. Next you divide it by two one piece is 35 and the other 28.

Answer:

We have divided the bar into two parts. For example, x and y.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we have

63cm=x+y    (1)

But one of those parts is 7 centimeters smaller than the other.We take y as the smallest part.Then:

y=x-7cm    (2)

we replace this information in the first equation

63cm=x+(x-7cm)

63cm=x+x-7cm

7 goes to add to the other side

63cm+7cm=2x

70cm=2x

2 goes to divide to the other side

35cm=x

from the second equation we have

y=x-7cm

y=35cm-7cm=28cm

Finally

x=35cm

y=28cm

x+y=35cm+28cm=63cm
