let length of one piece = x

length of other piece = 236-x

one piece is three times the length of the other

x=3(236-x)

x=708-3x

4x=708

x=177

so first piece is 177 inches long and second piece is (236-177)= 59 inches long

a_sh-v [17]

Answer: 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Jar contains 200 old dimes

Chances to pick the 1960s is 20% i.e. 1960s is 20% of 200 old dimes

So, we can write

$\Rightarrow \text{No of 1960s is }=20\%\ \text{of}\ 200=0.2\times 200\\\Rightarrow \text{No of 1960s is }=40$

PLSSS ANSWER, 35 pointss

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

$(y - 5)(x + y)$

${(x - y)}(x - y + a)$

$(b - 3)(5b - 17)$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The given polynomial is

$x(y - 5) - y(5 - y)$

We need to factor the second part to get:

$x(y - 5) + y(y - 5)$

We factor y-5 to obtain:

$(y - 5)(x + y)$

2. We have

${(x - y)}^{2} - a(y - x)$

We again factor -1 from the second part to get:

${(x - y)}^{2} + a(x- y)$

We now factor x-y to get:

${(x - y)}^{2} + a(x- y)$

${(x - y)}(x - y + a)$

3. We have

$2(3 - b) + 5 {(b - 3})^{2}$

We factor negative 1 from the first part to get

$- 2(b - 3) + 5 {(b - 3})^{2}$

We now factor b-3 to get:

$(b - 3)( - 2 + 5(b - 3))$

We now simplify to get:

$(b - 3)( - 2 + 5b - 15) = (b - 3)(5b - 17)$
