I hope this is the right answer
Well lets say y = the amount of medals won. lets say x is the amount won by short people and z is the amount won by tall. we know that the total medals is the total medals won by short and tall so:
y = x + z
it says that tall people are 3.times more likely. this would mean they won three times more than short people. so
z = 3x.
so if we know what z equals, we can replace z with what it is equal to. so:
y = x + z
y = x + 3x
y = 4x
we know that 60 medals were won so
y = 4x
60 = 4x
x = 15
that is the amount won by short people
Answer:
4, 5, 27.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us find our numbers using given information.
Factors of 20 are: 1,2,4,5,10 and 20.
Let us try by taking number 4 and 5.
We can see that 
Now let us find sum of these numbers.
Therefore, numbers chosen by Boris will be 4, 5 and 27 as these numbers satisfies our all conditions.
Whether dividing constant terms or polynomials, we always have definitive terms when it comes to division. Suppose we say, 10x divided by 2. The dividend is the 10x and the divisor is the 2. In other words, the dividend is the number to be divided by the divisor, to obtain the answer called the quotient.
When dividing polynomials, your main goal is to be able to divide the dividend evenly into the <em>divisor</em>. For example, we divide x²+2x+1 by x+1. The first thing you're going to focus is, what term will completely divide the first term of the polynomial? That would be x. Why? Because when you multiply x with x+1, the product is x²+x. When you subtract this from the polynomial, the x² will cancel out. All you have to do is subtract x from 2x, yielding x. Then, you carry down the last term of the equation: +1. You do the steps again. The term that will completely divide x+1 by x+1 is 1. When you subtract the two, you will come up with zero. That means there is no remainder. The polynomial is divisible by the divisor.
x + 1

x+1| x²+2x+1
- x²+x
