Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
smaller pieces must be larger than 3 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
x is the longer piece
x>32
x-20>12
12/4=3
smaller pieces resembled as y
y>3
Answer:
16 pies were neither apple nor peach.
Step-by-step explanation:
8/10, or 4/5 of the 80 apple pies were either apple or peach, which 4/5 of 80 is 64. The remaining pies will be neither apple nor peach. 80 - 64 = 16.

Answer: False</h3>
==============================================
Explanation:
I'm assuming you meant to type out
(y-2)^2 = y^2-6y+4
This equation is not true for all real numbers because the left hand side expands out like so
(y-2)^2
(y-2)(y-2)
x(y-2) .... let x = y-2
xy-2x
y(x)-2(x)
y(y-2)-2(y-2) ... replace x with y-2
y^2-2y-2y+4
y^2-4y+4
So if the claim was (y-2)^2 = y^2-4y+4, then the claim would be true. However, the right hand side we're given doesn't match up with y^2-4y+4
--------------------------
Another approach is to pick some y value such as y = 2 to find that
(y-2)^2 = y^2-6y+4
(2-2)^2 = 2^2 - 6(2) + 4 .... plug in y = 2
0^2 = 2^2 - 6(2) + 4
0 = 4 - 6(2) + 4
0 = 4 - 12 + 4
0 = -4
We get a false statement. This is one counterexample showing the given equation is not true for all values of y.
