The answer is:  "12 feet" .
________________________________
Note:  In a square, the length of EACH of the four sides of the square is the same.

Area = Length * width. 

For a square, length = width.

So for a square, Area = length * width = (length of a side)² = s² ,

Given:  A = s² = 144 ft² ;

Solve for the positive value of "s" .
________________________________
  →  s² = 144 ft² ;  Take the "square root" of each side ;

  → √(s²) = √(144 ft²) ;

  →   s = 12 ft.
_______________________________
The answer is:  12 ft.

Hi!

<u>Given these two equations:</u>

x = y + 8

x + 4 = 2(y + 4)

We want to solve using the substitution method. Knowing that x is equal to y + 8, we can simply plug in 'y + 8' in for x in the second equation, like so:

(y+8)+4=2(y+4)

Combine like terms on both sides:

y+12=2y+8

Subtract y from both sides:

12=y+8

Subtract 8 from both sides:

y=4

Now, we can simply plug the y value in to the first equation, and solve for x:

x=4+8

Simplify:

x=12

<h3>Therefore, x is equal to 12 and y is equal to 4.</h3>

The residents of a city voted on whether to raise property taxes. The ratio of yes votes to no votes was 3 to 5. If there were 7
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

2967 yes votes

Step-by-step explanation:

Welcome to Brainly!

One way of doing this problem follows:

Find the ratio, r, mentioned in the problem statement.  To do this,

write the equation 3r + 5r = 7912 and solve this for r:

8r = 7912, so that r = 989.

Then the number of yes votes was 3(989), or 2967, and the number of no votes was 5(989), or 4947.

check:  Does the ratio 2967/4947 equal 3/5?  yes.

There were 2967 yes votes.
