Length of side of new square is 17 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Let the length of the side of the old square be x. Then length of side of new square = x + 3 and Perimeter of new square = 40 + 2x
Perimeter of a square = 4 × side
⇒ 4(x + 3) = 40 + 2x
⇒ 4x + 12 = 40 + 2x
⇒ 2x = 28
⇒ x = 14 inches
- Step 2: Find length of side of the new square
⇒ x + 3 = 17 inches
Lets say p is for pay. An expression for you would be p=8h because you would get 8 dollars per hour that you work. Then you would replace h with however many hours you worked. Ex: p=8h. You worked 12 hours, so 8 x 12 would equal 96, so you would get 96 dollars as your total pay, or p.
5.30 because 3 is smaller than 30
2(b+3) = 2
2b + 6 = 2 ( -6 )
2b = -4 ( / 2)
b = -2
