Question 316754
Hint: Let x = shorter piece and y = longer piece. Since "One piece must be half as long as the other", this means that {{{x=(1/2)*y}}} and you multiply both sides by 2 you get {{{y=2x}}} (swap both sides). Also, because the rope is 93 feet, this means that {{{x+y=93}}}. So you have 2 equations with 2 unknowns.
