Solving Equations Using Algebra

A plumber has a very long piece of pipe that is used to run city water parallel to a major roadway. The pipe is cut into two sections. One section of pipe is 12ft shorter than the other. If 3/4 of the length of the shorter pipe is 120ft, how long is the longer piece of the pipe?
