Mauro has 140 ft. of rope. he will cut it into two pieces so that the length of the longer piece is 3 times the length of the shorter piece. what will the length of the longer piece be? what will the length of the shorter piece be? how do you know? describe the process you used to solve. hint: there are many ways to solve this! if you are stuck, use your knowledge of systems of equations to solve. for example, let x be the length of the shorter piece and y be the length of the longer piece.

The length of the shorter piece= 35 ft.

The length of longer piece =105 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the length of the shorter piece and y be the length of the longer piece.

Since, the length of the longer piece is 3 times the length of the shorter piece.

Then ...(1)

Also, the total length of the rope = 140 ft.

Thus,

substitute value of y from (1), we get

Hence, the length of the shorter piece= 35 ft.

The length of longer piece = ft

answer: approximately 206 bones

i hope this u out a branlist and a would be greatly appreciated :

javeir earned 56 dollors more than kyle so kyle and javier had 14w but javier made 56 dollors more so 14w plus 56 equals 70w so kyle has 14w

step-by-step explanation: hope i plz give me brainliest with the points so this is not constant cause it says last week so its clearly not every week
